This order was recently combined with another order of mine (#3939306). I believe that order, which was made on April 22, 2016, is Path of War Expanded -- which has been back-ordered since that time.

Is there any way that you can ship my order without waiting for this product (Path of War Expanded)? Heck, at this point, I would rather have a refund for PoWE since it's status has not changed since April.

Hi everybody. I haven't posted much here, but I need some help. For years, my group and I played 3rd/3.5 edition D&D. Two years ago we switched to 4th edition. Recently, we all got a bit burnt out and decided to switch to Pathfinder

However, we were still pretty excited about Dark Sun and we want to continue playing in the Dark Sun campaign but we went to use the Pathfinder rules. I was able to find the rules on defiler magic in Dragon Magazine 315 and we really like them.

Basically, the Dragan article suggests a point system whenever a character uses defiler magic. When a character uses defiling magic, they can apply a free metamagic effect to a spell the moment it is cast. However, when doing so, they earn defiler points. Gaining defiler ponts causes a negative reaction to the character, defiles the land around the character, and if a character gains so many points, they could end up an undead defiler. The article provides a table with how many defiler points a charcter earns with each metamagic effect. Here's part of the table:

Make Spell Silent … 1 defiler point
Make Spell Still … 1 defiler point
Make Spell Heightened … 1 defiler point per level
Make Spell Empowered … 3 defiler points
Make Spell Extended … 2 defiler points
Make Spell Quickened … 4 defiler points
Make Spell Maximized … 4 defiler points

So my question is how many defiler points should a character earn for the other metamagic feats listed in the Pathfinder Core Rulebook and the Advanced Player's Guide? It appears that a character earns more defiler points for using certain metamagic feats and less for others. My understanding of the 3.5 rules is a little rusty, but I'm assuming they did this as some metamagic feats are more powerful than others(?)

Anyway, I would like some help to determine how many points a character would earn for a Widened Spell and an Enlarged Spell. Also, we plan on using the Advanced Players Guide. So, if anybody has any suggestions for assigned defiler points to those metamagic feats (specifically Bouncing, Dazing, Disruptive, Ectoplasmic, Elemental, Focused, Intensified, Lingering, Merciful, Persistent, Reach, Selective, Sickening, and Thundering) I would greatly appreciate it.

Again, thanks for the help :)
