[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 324694, member: 813"] Well they wouldn't be direct conversions and I have a few things that fit a telepath a lot better than an Enchanter lying around. Only the Animal Tamer, the Charlatan and the Fear Eater have their own spell lists. The other five advance existing spellcaster levels. (Actually, two of them grant the spellcaster ability if you didn't have the ability before.) The animal tamer I always viewed as a guy who trains gryphons for a king. He's a physical worker not a spellcaster. His spell list is very focused on animal spells: even more so than the druid. An early version of the class had granted use of some of the listed spells a number of times per day as supernatural effects. But as the number of abilities grew the more unwieldy the class chart became. So I turned him into a limited spellcaster. The charlatan is even less learned than the sorcerer. He just gets diverse set of abilities over time that work well as a spell list. If you wanted to give them +1 caster level, they both probably only grant that ability at 3rd, 6th and 9th level. The fear eater is an experiment in point based magic. The fey disciple has +1 caster level as an option if you read the spells per day section. The chart might be confusing. None of the SRD fey advance by character class: dryad, nymph, grig, pixie and nixie. The true question is why does the half-fey template advance as the base creature type since that allows a potential fey critter to advance by class. Joe Mucchieloo Throwing Dice Games [/QUOTE]
