Just leave Metamagic out.

You could just reaserch a new version of the spell with the matamagic.

what do you mean metamagic?

............

Widen spell is a metamagic feat

What is your specialty?what kind of magic do you use, and do you use a spell book,
If you answer those questions I can help you pick better.

So, how are the new options?

...
(Realizes i didn't even post them)

New ledgend traits-

Dedicated Mage-
Choose a school of magic. You gain a +2 to the dc of all spells of that school, and a +1 to all damage dice of spells from that school. You start the game with one extra spell of that school, unless you chose nightmare. You gain a pool of sanity points that can only be used to cast spells of this school, equal to your level. If you have a bonded item, this is added to your bonded item instead.

Generalist-
You gain a pool of sanity points, equal to your level. If you have a bonded item, this is added to your bonded item instead. You gain one 1st level spell of your choice. You gain a +1 to the dc of all spells.

Acrobatic-
You gain acrobatic dodge (only can be taken by this legend trait), and unarmored focus as bonus feats. You add your level to acrobatics checks made to jump, and the dc of high jumps is halved. You don't take any penalties when you don't have a running start to jump.

All quite nice, I espically like the acrobatic one, not for it's power per say, but for the narrative options it presents, my next character, for example, I was somewhat at a loss for what legend trait to pick, and now it's cleared up for me somewhat,
Edit: you have yet to put them in the campign info tab

I know. I wanted a review first.

£@&¥£
I wrote a review, a decent long one, but internet spazzed out and I lost it

I thought what you already posted was good enough- i just wanted to see like/dislike.

I realize but still,
*rasa frassa internet rasas frassa*

And here's cal.

I have to decide what bond, if any, he should get.

replace the pokeballs with a gun.

Should I remove the "human only" restriction on hidden power?
If not, should i extend it to half-elves?

If you extend it to being knowable to half elves you could still restrict it by not giving it as a bonus spell known
(As far as the actual vote I abstain)

Where are Jeff and Ben, I'm starting to get worried, they haven't posted in almost 24 hours

Ben's fine but has work to do.

You never realize how much you use a phone until you forget it at home for a day. T-T

I like the traits. Acrobatic is cool and needed.

Hidden Power is cool and has good options. Giving Half Elf the option to take it makes sense, but not a free one. Option to take it.

Heh

Alright.

Do you like the picture i chose for cal?

I also picked his traits.

I love the picture.
Yellow is fun.
Traits are good.
Speaking of traits... what was the call on that?

Even though yellow is female, it works well.

Yes, seemingly.

You can only take that trait once, like all other traits.

I get that.
Taking that and Weapon of Peace. Renaming it "Take Them Alive."

I should change his gender to "ambiguously elven"

Heh.

I have to decide between the first Devine tree perk and a bond.

Hmm tough one

If a bond, the bond will problobly be staff or ribbon.

Divine tree works well. He worships whoever it is devoutly, so...

Problem is you can only take bonds at level one, so if i don't take it now, i can't at all.

I just can't put him with a bond item in my mind, but still your character.
Do what you think is right.

That'll weaken him in the long run, not having a bond item.

Hmm I'd say staff
Question are the bonded items masterwork/special material like dark wood or something?

If you want.

Wealth is still abstract- I'm trusting the player.

I'm not sure about the bond item myself, but loss of power isn't good...

Just give him extra sanity.
Or make a generic bonded item that isn't obtrusive.

I dont want to make anything new for me.
I'm the dm.

Also, "generic" bonded item really shouldn't be a thing.

I meant for them to have a large impact on a charecter.

New Perk
Bondless reserve:
Cannot be taken if the character has a bonded item.
The character gains an auxiliary sanity pool that follows a bonded item's progression ×2. This refreshes every morning and is not counted in determining overall sanity or penalties for losing such.

Hmmm I don't know... Seems kinda iffy, what tree would it be under?
I say just take the staff, or if you would rather, the ribon.

New Perk

That gives a lot of the benifit, in fact, more, without the disadvantage of having an item bound to it.

But you don't get any of the cool things an item gets. The double points makes up for that and nothing else. It doesn't get any better outside of more points.
This is only to make up the sanity pool you miss if you don't want a bound item. Bottom line is that not everyone will want one for a character and everything that is removed needs a supplement. It's good for people who want to specialize only in their free spell.
It would be under the bond tree.

The sanity pool is the most powerful feature of any of the items, save the robe.

And you don't have the weakness inherit in loosing it, which is the primary balancing factor of having one,

So no double points.
Balanced as is. No risk to loose it, but no extra buffs either?

Might work.

I'll think on it.

Just take the staff

Just take the staff

It's not that simple. Not for me, anyway.

Then take the ribbon?

No, i mean bonded item or no bonded item.

No bonded item avoids narrative complications.

Bonded item raises power, and with the ribbon, adds another level of roleplay... But also puts the dm in a spot of roleplaying power with a great diplomacy check.
