[QUOTE="Henry, post: 2118021, member: 158"] Quick sorta off-topic note: The Black Company Book from Green Ronin is now mine. :) I read some of it briefly last night, and I definitely like the setting. The magic system is just as expandable as you said [I](good gads, some of those caster NPCs are 50th to 75th level!!!!!)[/I] and I'm still having trouble trying to "break the mould" with spells, but I'm getting there. Those aforementioned casters had spell energy in the 30's to 70's; I don't even want to THINK about what their drain must be like. :eek: Quick Q, Old One: when blending two spells, let's say drain 1d8+3, and 1d8+2, is the total drain 1d8+5, or 2d8+5? The spell reference insinuates the latter, but chacking some posts on Green Ronin's web site seems to indicate the former, and I haven't found the book example yet. How do YOU interpret it? It may determine just how much "magical creole" I create. :) [/QUOTE]
