Wizards And Sorcerers

[RaspK_FOG]

I am working on lots of variant classes for the next campaign I am designing, which will include several changes:

• Bards can be of several "colleges", as presented in Song and Silence.
• Each college has its own aspect, including both bardic music effects and spell list.
• There is the "Heraldic College of Arts and Standards", which pretty much introduces the standard 3.5e bard with a few changes.
• There is the "Dark Lament Society", an organisation in which bards specialise in the negative effects the appropriate themes would have on others (reverse spell list when possible [making cure spells into inflict, remove curse into bestow curse, remove disease into contagion, neutralise poison into poison], and changing a bard's beneficial effects into their harmful counterparts [inspire courage becomes inspire dread with the appropriate penalties to enemies and such]...).
• The list goes on...
• As for sorcerers, I use a few good thingies, like saying they are considered to have no need of somatic components, yet be unable to cast spells without verbal components (they are unable to take the Silent Spell feat), and must take another feat that reduces (but does not negate) the spell failure chance when defeaned by mouthing it, and allowing one to cast a spell with the same failure chance if he tries to cast the spell in silenced areas.
• That's some of the things I am considering, but the still need some tweeking... @-@

Imortal forgetfullness..

Edit:
This is not sutable for BR
but I like this idee for Sorcerers
But ofcours it dos not go well with
the idee of the land granting you the spell ability
This is on the other hand a funy way to treat spell lists,



something up on some time learnd is always present, but unacsessable.

the imortal can trow consentrasion brake into older memmorys. Then he has acsess to study his own mind. Or his mind of past time.

To make things intresting.

Im thinking the imortal would realy have to clear his mind. thet is to store it and making it unacsessable.

Then now he has to try to acsess his own mind.

creating a new mind.

This migth even result in Aligment chance. New spell list composed partly of old stuff, and newer stuff.

But over all, you lose a lot of what you had. you become rusty at everything you were polised at. and even more, you lose all you memmory. having only glipses of it left. you migth even forget what you were doing or what you were doing it fore. You recive some cind of bardic lore about your own life. sometimse begin unable to remember what was and what was not before your last mind clear.

But ofcours trow a lot of study and mind searching you could pice to gether any information thet you had before. Given thet you have room for it in your active mind. !!

Well, its sound much like a old computer with little hardrive, and you keep copyes of everything you ever done on the computer, and keep it in a file cabinet, and forgot to lable the copys !! So if you like to find something, you acsuly have to start digin in you cabinet, trying difrent copyes until you find the rigth one.

I really don't like the way some of you are thinking of the elves... The are not supposed to be forgetting: that's the whole point in their drama all in all, having to live on and see what only they now still remember be "lost in time, like tears in rain"...

P.S.: Any of you remember where that quote came from?

I know this isn't a trivia board but:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched sea beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time
Like tears in rain."

-- Rutger Hauer, as Roy, in Blade Runner (1982)

BoP is one of the very best additions to the BR game. Along the the region books and the BoM it makes up the core of the BR rules.



Its major feature is a thorough listing of the gods and their churches. The other major piece is the part about various ceremonies of investiture.



It also contains tips for playing priest regents, and there is the usual stuff about magic items, spells etc.
