[QUOTE="FreeXenon, post: 2099934, member: 6228"] This is for a 3.5e game and yes, you are right, why have Mage Armor when you can wear a Mithril Shirt. There may always be times when you may not be able to wear armor, or when your allies or people that you are protecting do not have armor. (You also free up your arcane caster from having to memorize it) This does give a core wizard spell but at a very late level because if they want it they will have to switch it out at 8th level or higher to get it. Its usefullness will be limited unless there is good teamwork and planning from the party. I don't really want to do this but after looking at the Complete books last night I am thinking I have to. d8's make the class too strong. They can take Improved Toughness for extra hit points. So, d6 it is. How about this: [B]Lore Keeper Song[/B] A lore Keeper with 11 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use his music or poetics to greatly increase bonuses that result from teamwork or cooperation amongst allies. Actions that require teamwork find themselves easier to accomplish within the rhythms of this song. Allies that are targets of a successful Aid Another action gain a +2 Morale bonus in addition to the +2 for the Aid Another action for a total bonus of +4. Allies that recieve a flanking bonus gain a +2 morale bonus to hit in addition to the normal +2 bonus for flanking for a total of +4. What do you think? I added a little something to Lore Keeper's Insight: A Lore Keeper with [B]13 or more ranks in a knowledge skill[/B] may reroll and this to Lore Keeper Knowledge: Lore Keep gains a use per day per Lore Keeper level if he has 8 + Lore Keeper level or more ranks in a knowledge skill. to tightly bind the knowledge skill to the class. I have updated the last stat block with this change. [/QUOTE]
