Like mentioned in the title I'm tring to create a swordmage to work in the earlier editions. I've done an ok job so far and would like some help/ideas on how to better them. I'll be back to check posts in a week so ill try and give as much information on how much I've got currently.
The swordmage goes off of the same hp and THAC0 as a warrior, they still get the +3 ac if off hand is free. Can only wear cloth or leather,
they get bonus' like the elementialist for their perfered element. And cannot learn spells from apposing element. can learn preist spells at a negitive. I also keep the swordbond but in a sense that uses compounds mixed into paint and placed on the weapon like a scroll which will be burned off when the spell is used. Thus making the swordmage to use their swordbond every night it uses spells to bring its weapon back to full and paint more scrolls.
My biggest problem is the spells i want them to keep the same spells but dont want them to be OP or useless. since it is 1 ed i kinda have to keep the same method of spells per day so using lightning lure as basicaly a daily sucks. I did increase it so where you get 1d6 every level and +2 damage every 3 levels and i did this for most spells tho dailys that will be converted are already pretty strong so i made the die increase every 3 levels.
so hopefully you can kinda see what I'm trying to do here any comments towards making this a 1st/2nd edition class will help thanks.
