OSR The Monster Overhaul

Skerples' work on the Treasure Overhaul has reached the magic-items-containing-spells stage, which means he's tackling a generic/universal OSR spell list, starting with the illusionist.

As a longtime fan of the illusionist across game systems, this is a pretty good one, with some characteristic Skerples good ideas tossed in.

Other than removing Darkvision and capping Unlight at one hour, this makes a pretty good Shadowdark illusionist class, just swapping in the spell list for the rest of the wizard spell list.

Looking forward to this hitting Kickstarter in 2025 (he says, hoping).

Exxxxcellent.

I chuckled at their Glitterblast spell with duration "[caster level] days." Skerples clearly knows the evils of glitter sticking long after its welcome wears out.
