[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 2384424, member: 19130"] Wombat - Oh, of course I can understand that. As I noted, it's an esoteric topic... I just wanted to know how many other people shared my personal quirk. (And really, PDF publishing is the way to deal with quirky material.) Having read many of your posts around the boards, I'd've been quite surprised if this struck your fancy. Myself, I've always been a bit miffed that technology-based casters never got to fire up any really nasty weapons while the wizards got to toss around [i]meteor swarms[/i]. I like my chocolate in my peanut better, you see. I was quite disappointed that [i]Dragonstar[/i], while otherwise a lot of fun, didn't do what I considered natural and make technology a spellcasting-type tradition like arcane magic. Also, it's important to remember that ray guns in this system won't be any more common (and probably much less common) than [i]cones of cold[/i] and [i]flame strikes[/i]. Bryon_Soulweaver - Well, the device requires three rounds of full-round activations, so the technologist is really quite busy the whole time. Now a sorcerer bodyguard would be, well, quriky but effective. Sorcerers and wizards are the kings of battlefield control, so a pair like that would be fearsome indeed, with the sorcerer using [i]Evard's black tentacles[/i], [i]prismatic wall[/i], and [i]summoned[/i] monsters to keep opponents boxed in until the orbital death ray finishes charging.
