Heh...I was about to come here and bump this thread...it was a good surprise to see someone else had already done so.

We are always looking for new writers and artists...so if you have anything to contribute..just e-mail me.

I would however vote for having multiple columns in the future. Single column text that spans the whole page gets tiring after awhile.

Also, regarding the spell Summon Construct, I'm not sure why the caster can only make a five-foot step when he can already conduct a partial action. The caster could fly or do any number of things as a partial action, so restricting walking to just a five-foot step seems odd.

Because he is concentrating on keeping his golem together...LOL

Sorry...golem are a little too powerful to allow the wizard full power while controlling one created by a spell...that was done for balance purposes.

I already make too many 9th level spells as it is and didn't want to have to raise it to a level where most PC wizards and sorcerers will never have it.

By "odd," I guess I meant: arbitrary. If it's important that the caster do nothing but concentrate on the spell, then partial actions should be disallowed.

This is most awesome! Especially the Initiate of The Machine (I hope to see more of this in future publications or on the site).

Only one small problem, a grammer error on the IOTM page:

Mechnical Familiar: equal to one skill for ever 3 levels the initatiate as attained (should be has).

Urklore the Iron!

Hey...long time no see...probably don't remember me but we traded links when my site was still on GeoCities. Its good to see you download the Stygian

I am including an errata section for Issue one in Issue two...so make sure and send me or post any rules errors you find so I can fix them.

The Initiate of the Machine has been voted my best prestige class. I have no idea why..LOL...I am usually better with necromancer type of classes.

I am going to be adding onto the background of the IOTM in later issues.
