Newer Products & the Spell Compendium

[Vraille Darkfang]

I'm now having many of the Spells & Domains from the Spell Compendium take a larger role in my games.

As such, the Core Classes listed in the SpC benefit from it, but what of those classes released since then?

Specifically I wandering about the Player's Handbook II Classes for the moment.

Has there been any official guide for new classes & the SpC (WotC webstie seems to be down right now).

Failing any 'Official' answer. Has anyone else tried to do this for these classes?

If so, is it in a Postable Format (most of my info is in Spreadsheets that don't Copy/Paste Well).

Thanks for any aid!

The only one that I made any attempt to make SC appropriate is the Beguiler class. After referencing a few places, and making some inquiries here as well, I came up with this short guide.

* enchantments of the charm or compulsion sub-school that are not symbols and have negative impacts on the target(s)
* illusions in the glamer and figment sub-school
* divinations that aid in scouting and prescience
* abjurations that negate harmful magical effects or help in avoiding detection
* transmutations that speed up the caster or allow access to hard-to-reach locations
* the occasional conjuration spell of the creation sub-school that can cause confusion or miscommunication in foes (typically area effects); obscuring mist is a prime example of the kind of conjuration (creation) spells to allow
​

I never went so far as trying to go through the whole book to expand the spell list. This list was just a set of guidelines that I presented to the player with the Beguiler character to use while considering some spells.

I guess it is partially included (At least in the PHB II).

After all the Duskblade does have some of the Swift Spells from the SpC on their Spell List.

Of course these spells are very simple to their non-swift PHB Counterparts, so they can be easily included WITHOUT needing the SpC.

It doesn't seem like a concrete effort has been made to put all the new spells from the SpC with the new stuff that comes out.

Which is my problem with 3rd ed. They keep putting out Stand-Alone supplements and never interface them together. Even though I have them, they seem to be gunshy about mentioning anything in a Rulebook that refers to any book but the Core 3 (Unless they reprint the whole darn thing).

OK. I do remember the 2nd ed where every other page said "Please refer to Supplement XX Page XX for this abilty"

I'm just want some overlap here & there. Is that too much to ask?

(I hear through the Grapevine that some of the Psionics Fans are threatening to kidnap the entire R&D team if they continue to ignore Psionics for Psionic Creatures).
