Mille Filii's page

By the by, yes you did miss the specific Pathfinder board. Link.

This discussion probably goes in the General Discussion subforum, unless getting ideas for your setting is the primary goal, in which case it's probably better clarified and reposted in Suggestions/Houserules/Homebrew.

Thank you sir. I'll move over to the appropriate boards.

I've actually only played Pathfinder and I'm most familiar with that setting, but the aforementioned friend has told me about Eberron. I was crafting this for Pathfinder rules and lore, but I didn't see a Pathfinder forum on the gaming page. Am I just blind?

I thought th implication was that being a spellcaster requires inborn inborn talent (before even getting to things like Sorcerer Bloodlines), even for trained/prepared spellcasters -- it's just that player characters are assumed to have this until proven other wise.

Not according to the flavor text for wizards, at least. It just says that there is magic beyond the ken of mere mortals, and those with the intellect can grasp it if they study. The requirement to cast spells is 10 + Spell level Int, and using a distribution curve of both IQ and random dice rolls means about 30% of the population should be able to cast Fireball.

Either way, is this place where I would share the world I'm constructing? Or am I on the wrong forum?

First time posting, I hope I'm doing this right.

A friend and I are highly academic sorts, and we do a lot of theorizing and trying to apply real world logic to RPG settings. Usually this is just idle talk over lunch or whatever, but recently I've started writing an entire world and its history based off this question: if it is possible to gain magical casting via study (like wizards do), why aren't there more wizards? In the real world we are expected to go through 13+ years of mandatory education before entering adulthood. I would like to post my early writings here for feedback, if that's OK.
