[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 771733, member: 10397"] Well I misunderstood then...I was actualy feeling rather attacked by your statements. I disagree with you on most points...actualy also I later realized once you sell your custom spell to ONE other mage...they can do whatever they want with it and its not going to be only yours and his for long. I think we just have a drasticaly different outlook on the whole thing. You seem to see research unique spells as almost somewhat akin to creating a powerful unique almost minor artifact level magic item. and maybe your right. also as I said before I realize that it shouldnt be free...i just happen to feel that its over priced. All of DnD is pretty high magic at this point especialy as regards magic items. if you wanna see some imbalance just look at how easy magic items are to aquire. Of course aparently you feel the same way about spell research. Thats fine...I think I get where your coming from now. Within the way that most existing DnD worlds are however I dont personaly agree. Of course all this would be moot if they could just come up wth a not so restrictive magic system but I digress And actualy I DO like some of the things you said about clerics. It would work essentialy the same they would just be doing different things...the vision quest type deal. I just dont think most deities would react negatively to that. basicaly if they suceed at their check their deity gants them knowledge of a new prayer. if they fail they recieve nothing. [/QUOTE]
