Two question I wanted some clarification on.

1st. do you have to be a druid to take the beastmaster +2 warlord feat

2nd. Can you put a second commander in your band from the points or do you have to wait until one of your lt. qualify to get one?

---

1 - You must already have the Beastmaster ability (as the feat is Improved Beastmaster)

2 - Yes you can (subject to normal campaign limitations, ie he can't have a higher commander rating than your warlord.)

I was thinking about the rebuttal to what I was saying about some warlords being at the short end of the stick, it would be something like this: "well, some warlords are just not as good as others, you should have picked a better one" .. that sucks for a campaign like this, because that means that everyone should just pick the best 2 or 3 commanders (which are probably the broken ones, after all).

I am confused on some spell progression issues mainly as they apply to Sorcerors.

Take for example Kobold Sorceror. Stat card says he is 5th level. So does this mean he is a 5th level caster? But he can't cast 3rd level spells.. so where does he begin on 1-15b spell progression levels? 3rd level caster or 5th? are we treating sorceror levels same as wizard levels (for example RPG sorceror doesnt get new spell level until level 6.)

1. yes

2. Post any additions or changes you want to see in this thread. I was originally only sticking with spells that are in the players handbook, but that is up for debate too =). Actually, I would appreciate if someone could posrt a compilation of all the new PHB spell from deathknell so I can add them.


Also, I have been waiting for more psionic powers before I added psionic to the spell progression.... think we have enough now? anyone interested in converting some of the powers from the Psionics HB to DDM?

Well, we already have the empowered magic missle.

As for psionics, i'd love to have some more for my blue. I'm gonna try to work him up to be a warlord. Yeah, thats right, i said it. A Blue warlord. How much would that rock?

How about psionics following a progression similar to sorcerer spells, where psionic effect pp equates to spell level...

If we assume 1 pp roughly equivalent to a 1st level spell:

Psi...........................Creature
Prog.....PP.............Starting
Level....Gained.....Psi Prog Level
1...........1................creature's best effect is 1pp
2...........2
3...........1................creature's best effect is 2pp
4...........2
5...........3
6...........1................creature's best effect is 3pp
7...........2
8...........3
9...........4................creature's best effect is 4pp
10........1

Magic Item/Spells Questions:
(1) Scrolls--Must the caster already know the spell to be put on a scroll, or can any spell of the appropriate level be on the scroll?
(2) Invisibility--Is casting an offensive spell or using a special ability an "attack" ending the invisibility?

They look good. The 30 damage mindthrust is off though because it comes from the wilder which has its Surge built in. A psion with a mindthurst at same level would have less damage.

The scrolls I see in the list add a casting attribute (quick, empower, etc.), meaning the scroll applies to whichever spell the creature can already cast and chooses to augment with the scroll's effect. The EC rules footnotes describe when the scroll is consumed or not, and imply a scroll augment is applied to a chosen spell as cast.

Thus for a scroll you need not assign a spell to it, nor do you gain an extra casting of a spell.

I have a question about flame strike and Ice Storm.

Flame Strike: 15 magic + 15 fire, dc 16

On a successful save is it 15/2=5 + 15/2=5, or is it 15 + 15/2=5.
To sum up, does FS with a made save do 10 damage or 20 damage (assuming no resistances)

Ice storm: 15 dam + 10 cold, dc 16

On a successful save is it 15/2=5 + 10/2=5 or is it 15 + 10/2=5
To sum up, does IS with a made save do 10 damage or 20 damage (assuming no resistances)

Since these spells were adapted from the RPG, how do they work in the RPG, and how similar do we want them in the Eternal campaign?

Power ideas-

Psion

Level 1
Deceleration- Medium or smaller targets speed is halved. Range 6. DC 13 negates, 1pp

Level 2
Dimension Swap- You switch the position between any two allies within range 6 (including yourself) - 3pp

Level 3
Empathic Transfer, Hostile- Touch, Tranfer up to 50pts of damage you have taken to target creature. You heal up that much damage DC 15 negates, 5pp.

I am concerned with these additions - half speed even with low save is a HUGE effect and should be a level 2 effect.
Baleful transposition was so useful it got the Drider banned. This opens that can of worms back up. I would not include it. The transposition spells are notably not available on the spell progression list, and should not by that logic be available here.
As for a psionic effect equivalent of a level 3 spell that does 50 damage and heals 50, well, compare to Cure Serious Wounds and this should be a 5th or 6th level effect in DDM, or change to perhaps a 5 or 10 HP effect.

Looking at the enormous complexity increase here, my official vote is to allow psionic users to gain sorcerer spells instead of making a whole new track that needs to be developed and balanced. The tweaking should be done with playtesting offline rather than here, and the tweaked and balanced end product posted for inclusion. Of course, I will go with majority and / or admin final decision on this topic...

Which creatures can gain Spell Progression Levels?

Some general rules for spell progression for spell casting minis (since I haven't updated the list in the EC rules):

1. Any creature that has at least one level of a spell casting class (on the RPG side), and can cast at least one spell, can gain SPLs. Creatures that do not have a level of a spell casting class can not gain Spell Progression Levels even if they can cast spells.
