<p>I disagree that a Warrior from just the Spheres book isn't viable.</p>
<p>Mageknight can be very viable.</p>
<p>I do agree that a skills build is nearly impossible though. I managed o do it but had to be very convoluted to do it.</p>
<p>For what it's worth I think you'd be fine with allowing Spheres + Core Classes using their Sphere Archetypes. That's what I'm doing in a home game right now.</p>Thanks for running the game even if it didn't last.

He got this adventure out for RPG Gameday back in 2011(?), a bestiary and another book (my stuff is packed away right now). He was working on a small campaign gazetteer for the setting before it fell thru and he returned the money of us that had pledged at that level.</p>
<p>I had really wanted to write my own 1-20 level adventure for the setting but was missing too much information for my limited brain to fill in so I wanted to at least use this mini adventure as a test.</p>
<p>After defeating the undead creature you would find a temple to a good deity that was desecrated and being used by an evil cleric and lots of zombies. Arriving in the nick of time (don't the pc always arrive in the nick of time!) you would have had the opportunity to save the woman and her children and make your way back to the portal and back to the material realm.</p>

Thanks for game, it was interesting.</p>
<p>I am curious though, why did you make the shadow plane like that? Is there some other source out there describing it like this, or did you just make it like that on your own?</p>Sad is right. I like my Silva Sez duo.
