No, I'm not. You can't do that. Really.

Indeed? Well, looking at the original post to which you refer:

nopantsyet said:
I am using some of the rules in an otherwise almost-standard campaign. I am using magisters instead of wizards, but have my own organization around them. I'm using a few other classes as well as some of the races.

...I'll note that each sentence begins with the phrase "I am" (or, in the third sentence, the contraction "I'm", which I'm sure you will agree means very nearly the same thing). Since the esteemed nopantsyet contends that "he is" doing these things, you perceive that this rather directly contradicts your contention that "he can't". The only two conclusions that I can draw from this unfortunate confluence of events and associated comments are that either nopantsyet is lying (i.e. He says he IS doing these things when in fact he isn't and further, as you contend, cannot.) or that you are incorrect in your assertion that they are impossible.

Leaving aside any reflection upon his character stemming from whether or not he has pants at the current time, I can find no reason to call into question the veracity of nopantsyet's declarative statements to which you seem to object. Further, there are, I find, very few instances within the realm of fantasy roleplaying games where something is, in fact, impossible. Sadly this forces me to conclude that all three of your last posts in this thread are in error on this point and, as this is the only point that you have addressed in those posts, due no doubt to your virtue of brevity, these posts are erroneous in their entirety.

Please take solace in knowing that I have no intention in assuming that your posts in the future are likewise incorrect as we all make mistakes from time to time.

Good day to you, Sir or Madam.
 


But he did, Driddle, he did. And it would seem there's nothing you can do about it. And the level of denial you exibit can only lead to head explody. (yours, that is)

If the denial doesn't go away, and powerful headaches begin to manifest, seek help. Check your local yellow pages for the heading "Trepanation".
 

Well, there are worse things in life than playing straight-man to Rel... :)

But perhaps a better question might be, "Why can he not use magisters instead of wizards in his personal D&D campaign?"

That's a very good question, Henry. I wish more people would ask questions like that.

OK, I'm game. :]

Do you have an answer to the above question?

and just so I don't waste a post,

What IS your answer to "Why can he not use magisters instead of wizards in his personal D&D campaign?" ?
 

I am running one game set in the Diamond Throne, with my PCs at about 8-9th level. My PCs are:

Sorren - a loresong faen greenbond who demands payment with every healing.

Razel Dravador - a human runethane/mage priest noble (a priest of the wind)

Toko - a human wolverine totem warrior who's on a quest to find the favor of the spirits

Tika - Toko's wolverine animal companion who is wiser than her master. Toko considers her the "brains of the operation"

Zarrah - a verrik magister with some racial levels, obsessed with truth, loose with morals, and not particularly concerned about catching party members in the radius of his fireburst spells. Currently going through a mental breakdown that he exhibits by casting energy blade and charging into combat

Ro-Corron - a giant mage blade with three racial levels, a master of diplomacy that was taking lessons in noble manners from Razel

Tigaron/The Red Blade - This sibeccai unfettered with racial levels started out as a slightly shady thief who was really good at getting jobs for the group. He picked up the knack for iron witchery during his first adventure, but eventually "left the party" and returned as the masked and crimson-clad Red Blade. He desired to become a vigilante hero and earn some respect for himself. At one point he hired a bard to travel around with him and write songs about his prowess. The player eventually tired of the character (he got a lot of flak from the other characters that called him the Suicide Sibeccai), so the Red Blade left and was replaced by...

Kavanen - a human akashic that dresses in black robes, a white mask, and carries a scythe as his weapon of choice. Once a member of an akashic's guild that guarded a coven of witches, when he realized that the best guards were slain and raised as undead, he left. An assassin was sent after him by the name of Kavanen. The human knocked him out and escaped, took his identity, and has been using his trademark (leaving a purple flower at the scene of his crimes) to sully the true assassin's name. He allied himself with the party to gain protection for himself.

Sharla - a female human mageblade that greatly desires to become a mojh, the party picked up this NPC in one of their first adventures. They were originally going to prevent her from going to the mojh conclave (as they had killed her sponser), but after being rejected by it, she reluctantly joined the party. They've slowly gained her trust over the course of several months.

Lornae Brightsong - a completely insane spryte unfettered several levels higher than the rest of the party, this NPC is mostly there for comic relief, stealing stuff, and getting into really little places for the party.

~~~

I am also playing in one game.

Seccaia Xin Zydir - is my character, an eighth level winter witch with a Charisma of four, but very high Intelligence and Wisdom. She is a bitter, sharp-tongued, cynical, sarcastic harridan and a complete blast to play.

Varian - a spryte champion of magic with racial levels who prefers to drop detonations on his enemies from a high distance. He enjoys poking people with a stick.

Xyr - a verrik greenbond with the peaceful mage feat, one that keeps the rest of us in line.

Ro-Medric - a giant warmain NPC run by me, a warrior against the hoards of inshon and legions of chorrim. He's also a fantastic damage sponge and damage dealer.

Soes - a loresong faen runethane NPC run by Varian's player, he only showed up last session, but he shows some promise in good planning.

Yaval - a sibeccai oathsworn run by Xyr's player, who occasionally majorly sucks in combat due to the player's inability to roll well.

I don't have an answer to THAT question. I never said you can't do that; Rel just sort of assumed that's what I meant. ... It's a good question, though. Why would you think he can't use magisters, Henry?

No, my initial post referred to another aspect of NoPantsYet's comments.
