(See post #66) I saw something similar in the revised psionics articles. Interestingly, the revised psionics seem to be akin enough to the revised EoM, so things like the psionic focus or other psionic feats can be used without changing them except the terminology.-Can Dispel Magic on area spells dispel only a part of the affected spell? Suppose, someone casts a wall of fire, will his spell dispelled all at once or only the area, where the dispel spell works?-Can somehow the permanent destruction of a soul achieved, so no resurrection will work?-Is it possible to target a clones of a magic user at once, even if only one of the clones is in line of sight (and no others are in the area)? Or has the transform spell to be dispelled first? Mages clone themselves before every battle and have the lich phylactery effect at the cost of one spell.-Makes the missing cost of resurrection death more a small game break instead a real threat?-How are Spellcraft checks affected, if one or both components aren't recognizeable? Is there a possibility to recognize the casting of simultanously stilled and silent spell?-Exist still all types of magic items? Also scrolls? Are those the XP price worth, because these can be easily simulated through spells from books, except one don't have to pay MPs? If there is no Read Magic, how are spells written down? In rhymes? Or unintelligible words, so one has only to understand the alphabet and the language normally used by the wizard (we all use the latin alphabet but pronounciate differently)?-If someone has protected himself against scrying, where is the line, which differentiates the success or failure of a question? Suppose following situation: A mage is in a tavern, while someone tries to find out his location. Version 1: "Where is [insert name]?". Version 2: "Is there someone, who looks without using magic or mundane methods for disguise like [insert name]? If yes, where is he?" Is version 2 prohibited?-Suppose one certain spell has four spell lists barring General. How many spell lists one has to know to get a bonus for his Dispel check? Does one list suffice as a key or a open weakness for the spell to counter?-If your mind has been changed through a Transform spell, what knowledge do you have? Suppose that someone has now the mind of an orc. Did he forget his old friends? Has he an alibi story why he is here and not with his friends?-Can spell lists be forgotten through level drain?-Share Spells with Familiars isn't quite as effective as in the core rules: There is no range of "You" in EoM. What is the solution? Allowing every spell with touch range? This means that every spell, one can cast, can be changed to a touch version and is so applicable.-[Exalted] and [Vile] spells in EoM: How can these one created?-Transform spell: Retain subjects their own ex-, su- and sp-abilities?-Is there a possibility to create an instant permanent curse with only the casting of a spell (and donating the XPs, of course)?-Where lie the limits of contingencies? Can they used as a scry-replacement ("Activate the effect, if the prince of Valhorn is attacked!")? Or need they the Scrying skill? If so, how about the rule, that contingencies can do what the caster can be aware of with assumed natural 20s for rolling skills? It would be better, if one can assume the Blindsight ability for the caster, so blind beings don't have a disadvantage. The same is valid for other senses.-RangerWickett, you don't use class skills in your home games. Are you and your players happy with this rule or lurk some unseen problem behind that decision?-Regarding the EoM-SRD: I have spent some thoughts about that. I believe, the new subforum should be structured like that: One thread for feats, for new classes and for spells one for every letter of the alphabet for reference only. Discussions about the content should be in separate threads which mirror the reference threads, so approved content (only regarding error-free, balanced stuff and no censoring beyound Eric's Grandma) has simply to be copied by volunteers. Copies shouldn't have an entry regarding the authorship, but at the end of the feats/classes/spells there should a be list of the authors -  if I use the spells I don't want to read such a entry all the time, but for questions is such information important, at least if there is not a standard use of spell lists and similar. Such a structure has the following problems:1. The volunteers would need moderator privileges for the forum only.2. The topics aren't the right order for quick searching - its even worse trough the discussion threads. Either the EoM-SRD and discussion threads are in a seperate forums or the SRD threads are pinned (Can pinned threads change their position among themselves?). RangerWickett, what do you think about it?</blockquote>
