[QUOTE="RogerBacon, post: 386144, member: 7410"] Here is a class I threw together last month. It is an arcane spell caster who studies different domains of power (cleric domains ). He has no spell lists of his own but as he goes up in levels he acquires domains like a cleric. The class uses spell points instead of spells per day because the group I play with uses a spell point system similar to the psion one. Spells cost the same as psions (2*spell_level – 1). If you don’t use spell points, just assume he has the same spells per day as a cleric. Our group also uses multiple spell attacks per round with the full round action, which is why there is a column labeled “Spell actions with full attack”. You will notice that it is the same as the melee attack progression. Again, just ignore this if you don’t like it. "Spell Roll" determines the saving roll difficulty. It uses the optional rule of rolling d20 instead of taking 10. It also uses 1/2 caster level instead of spell level, just like a monster's special ability. Our group believes a 3rd level spell thrown by a 20th level caster should be harder to save against than one thrown by a 5th level caster. If you don't like this, just use 10+spell level + stat bonus as usual. Lastly, the class name kind of sucks, but all the good ones are already taken. I hope the formatting holds up. Roger Bacon [edit] Ok the formatting got blasted to hell, so just download it if you want to see it all pretty like. =========================================== Thurge Ver 1.0 (8/23/02) HD: 1d8 Spell Dice: 1d4 + Wis. bonus Alignment: Any Starting Gold: 6d4*10 Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Thurges are proficient in all simple weapons.

If both spells and attacks allow more than one, then the total number of spell and weapon attacks is the lesser of the two and neither type of attack can exceed it’s maximum number of attacks allowed. Each attack takes place 5 points lower in the initiative order that the preceding attack. Max Spell Level: This is the maximum level of spell the Thurge can cast. Meta magic can be applied to a spell by paying two extra spell points for each level the metamagic feat would normally add. This doesn’t increase the level of the spell. Domain: A Thurge may only cast spells from a domain he knows. As the Thurge goes up in levels he opens up more domains. A Thurge can have a maximum of 14 domains. Other than these domains, a Thurge has no spell lists of his own. For example, he can not cast Cleric spells unless they happen to be on a domain he knows. The Thurge also gets the benefits of each domain when he learns it. [/QUOTE]
