[QUOTE="Psion, post: 1214920, member: 172"] I am using it (and posted a thread about this recently). I just ran an NPC with the fiend legacy template, a PC just took the dragon touched template, and in the lower level game, a PC was gunning for Arcane Blade. I think its a great resource with lots of flavorful elements. In actually playing with it, I have caught a few things that might need some tweaking: [list] [*]Arcane Blade PrC - You will note that the class has an improved maximize ability, which is nearly useless in 3.5 since buffs aren't random anymore. This is of little consequence to me since for most spells I decided to stick with the 3.0 version (I tweaked buffs a little but they are still random in my game.) But you may want to alter the ability a bit to make it meaningful in 3.5. [*]The celestial and demon/devil legacy templates: - Immunity to four forms of energy is too much. I reduce this to 1 + sorcerer level energy resistance (like the dragon touched template uses.) They retain immunity to non-energy attack forms - Also, I see no need to increase the DC modifier provided by spell smite by 50%; IME sorcerers usually max out their charisma anyway, and that is enough of a benefit. [*]Dragon legacy template - small hint, the missing table is on the page before. :) [/list] Just for the record let me say I love the templates, love the blood abilities, and love the material on truenames, but this comes somewhat from the notion that the sorcerer is a bit weak compared to the wizard, and I recognize that the blood abilities give the sorcerer a bit of a boost, and the flavor is excellent.
