WotC updates the Product Catalog!

Out of curiosity, who are the wu jen players who demanded yet more exclusive spells and content that will be of zero use to the vast majority of players?

I've yet to come across people talking about their wu jen characters, wishing their was more wu jen content, etc. (When, of course, the real answer would have been to let them use a subset of the wizard spell list.) Why do we need more for them?

Warlocks, sure, I see people asking about them. But I know of vastly more warmages being played than wu jen, but it's wu jen that are getting extra support? Hah?

I'm currently playing a gnome wu-jen ninja gestalt and I need as much support of the wu jen as possible....





...well, not really. I've never played a wu jen, and never will. Nor do I know anyone who has either.

Hey! I played a Wu Jen in an OA game for a little while... He died.

What would be nice is if they had a Master Spell List that incorporated which spells released by Dragon Magazine and WotC books are Wu Jen, Shugenja, Sohei, Shaman, Hexblade, Duskblade, and Healer spells. That should be top priority before new material is expanded upon.

I think the Wu Jen thing is low because the OA material released by WotC is, well, nil. OA was a book scratched upon with a few new material in Dragon Magazine and a couple of WotC website articles and that's it. I can understand why no one hardly plays the class. WotC's fault, as usual.

One would figure WotC would get it by now. The more you expand upon new material, and the faster you creat expansions for it, then the more interest you build in it. One could say they're finally doing it with Complete Mage, but, I think it's way overdue and way too late to build an interest in it now.

See? This is why people don't play them. They break easily and the warranty is just plain awful.

All would be solved if they would just release a Kara-Tur setting book for FR in 2007!

I rolled up a wu jen in 1985. Never played him. Last time I ever thought about playing one...

I wouldn't get too worried -- looks like they included support for all arcane types except for warmages. But I have to wonder: Do Warmages really need any extra support? They already have an ungodly arsenal of the most offensive magics that D&D has to offer, they can cast in armor, they can get a limited number of arcane spells of any type they wish, including the new spells in Complete Arcane, and they can cast in armor.

Almost everything in this book they will have access to, regardless, and if you give them more of a free spell selection, they become a rather overpowered mix of sorcerer and wizard, in my opinion. Heck, if they add any more options that what they have now, I'll start giving up all other arcane casters in preference to solely Warmages.

I'll admit, I don't see any Wu Jen players, though. Maybe that's a sign that they need the support?

I actually agree with you about the warmages. Any support I'd want for them would be things like complementary PrCs or PHB2/DMG2 affiliations.

I was just mostly baffled by the wu jen stuff.

Well you can always pick the option they mentioned in OA, where you can have a sorcerer that picks spells from the Wu Jen spell list. Or have your wizard research a new spell that does the exact same thing.

But otherwise no, I haven't heard of any such players, in fact I'd just let Wu Jen, Sorcerer and Wizard spell lists mix freely...

One bump, and then I let it go...
