Ah, that's cool. I mean, I'm just hacking and slashing through an old video game based loosely on said RPG manuals razz

There's a lot of things i'm skipping in the manuals, particularily skills like gather info, persuasion, etcetera which normally do have a role, but not really here. A lot of this will just simply require field testing..

Okay, here are others of note I found:
Immolation: Creature is immersed in flame. Opponents using melee attacks must defend against a weak fire attack or take damage. 1d4 damage.
Fiery Breath: Creature attacks with a weak fire breath attack before engaging an opponent in melee. -2 to hit, 1d4 damage.
Regeneration: Creature recovers a small amount of HP each round of combat. Maybe 5% of max HP to start, and then an additional 5% per additional level.
Lifestealing: Creature's attacks absorb a small portion of damage dealt as recovered hitpoints. Maybe 10% of damage converted to HP for the attacker, with a minimum of 1 hitpoint.
There are a ton I'm skipping over, too, like Pathfinding and First Strike, since they just wouldn't be pertinent here either. Some are real obvious, like Fire Immunity, and some are too powerful, like Stonegaze and Invisibility.
I'd try to get some actual numbers going, but I'd have to actually start playing the game and finding fantastic creatures and units and such with said feats to get the actual specific effects listed, so I'll just come up with some possible numbers or something after posting this.

The "Blast" spell actually covers celestial energy, frost beams, fire beams, etcetera under teh superpowers i got it from...
But you got to make sure you have values for the skills you have, so take that into consideration. But from here out, we'll have to field test a couple builds to really see how things work out.

Yup, just threw some numbers in there. I don't think they're too strong, but then again you're the tabletop queen here razz

Even if that were true, it doesn't mean i don't use already existing systems...

Well, really I just meant it in a relative sense. You're certainly more of a master at this than I am razz

Well, we really need to try and test it out for the short run.

I'm all set to do that whenever, pretty much. Don't think I'll exactly be able to stay up until 4:00am, but eh whatever razz

Well, it would entail going through at least levels 1-20 at least 3 times to see how different builds work, and the like. And each build would require about 3 fights per level, one for 1x1 against strong npcs, against a 'player', and against 1xmany npcs.....
so about 180 battles, give or take. We could probably cut that in half if we just explore the first 10 levels, as well as perhaps in half again, if we ignore the strong npcs and players sparsely interwoven in the rounds...
Still about 40 some fights to test out...

That's a lot, but I wouldn't mind doing it. If we can get someone to join us we could test multiple builds at once, too, I imagine...

Well, methinks I'll ask around a little. One person who has generally good availability I'm talking to now, and she's already in the guild, so I'll ask her smile
She wasn't interested. Ah well.
