It's in the 3.5 PHB, one of the new +2/+2 feats, in this case to Spellcraft and UMD. For a mage, it's probably not all that appropriate the more I look at it--Skill Focus: Spellcraft would be much better.

Well, as I understood it Protection from [alignment] was only one spell as far as your spellbook was concerned and you only have to choose a variant at the point where you choose which one to prepare on a specific occassion on which you memorize the spell. If you rule that it counts as four sperate spells in the book, I'll change it shortly to the Evil variety.
It's really up to Lazarus here, but Protection from Evil/Good/Chaos/Law is listed as 4 different spells in the PHB. Contrast that to Endure Elements or Protection from Elements, where you choose what element you are protecting yourself from at the time of casting.

Eric, I got your e-mail but accidntily deleted it instead of replying. That sounds like a great idea of how to intor Selene. Go for it.
Still got the flu? :p
 


1. Feat changed to SF: Enchantment, and char. posted up to Rogue's gallery.

2. I know this is planning (waaaaaaaaaay) in advance, and the campaign may not even get to the sort of levels necessary, but it's nice to have something to work to... how do you feel about the Archmage PrC?
 

(1) Cool.

(2) HEY Y'ALL, THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE. There, now that I have everyone's attantion. :) Prestige classes are going to be a bit different from "normal" hereabouts. They do not have any requirements to take, except for something with actual prestige: membership in an organization or guild (and yes, there is an Irregular prestige class), the favor of a god or major temple, that sort of thing.

They are also a bit more... well, balanced than most of the prestige classes out there. Taking a prestige class should net you no more--or very little more--than taking another level of a core class.

Third, they're all customized. So: if you're interested in eventually taking a prestige class,

(A) Talk to me about it
(B) Decide how you'd like it to be themed
(C) I'll create something, and then we'll talk about changing things to create a good balance, then
(D) We'll work it into the campaign somehow. :)

As far as the Archmage itself: I haven't looked at it recently, but I seem to recall that even the 3.5 version was a bit overpowered. I'll take another look at it.

Oooh! Customised prestige classes! Sounds good - very similar to the way I deal with them in my PnP campaign. Don't worry about the whole Archmage thing, we can work on something more suitable as the campaign progresses and I have a chance to figure out what would suit the char.
 

Hey y'all,

Well, the holiday slump should now be over--it is for me at least--but I'm worried on a couple of fronts, so I'm calling for a roll-call. Mainly, I'm worried that there were only two responses to my last post in the IC thread.

My next post will be another post in the IC thread, and we'll try to move along. Please post something--anything--either here or in the IC thread to let me know y'all are still alive. Thanks!
