Some awesome ideas! I may include in my RHOD campaign this summer :)

Awesome conversion! I may borrow some this for my campaign :)

Here is my work up of an elemental focused druid Forcebound.

Nice work! I am stealing this for my Way of the Wicked Campaign :)

Nice work! I am stealing this for my Way of the Wicked Campaign :)

So why does omnimagic have starcraft crystals in it?

I like the idea of the starcraft crystals as an energy source. It seems using crystals to power magic tech is a common theme, I just put a different spin on it. Plus you can always say its extra planatary/ planar and thereby bring it to different worlds with ease. As well they can be used for psionics / magic with ease of crossover.

Some things I'm working on for my home game that build off of magitech and some of the rules presented in Sunken Empires and the Numeria book that could interest people.

4. Also fiddling around with a rebuild of the ironborn presented by Rite publishing. I love the race on first glance but it needs another editing pass to clean up some word choices and maybe simplify some mechanical options now that we have the android to look at as a model of a PC friendly construct race.

I just reworked the Warforged into my campaign. You can call them Ironborn or Warforged. I loved the idea when it first came out in 3.5.

Warforged

Omnimagic is a lot like the arcanite that I put in the OP. Except that the better the gem cutter, the better the weapon. Also arcanite only does ranged weapons and grenades and it uses normal magic to power it.

EDIT 1: arcanite is in my homebrew world.
EDIT 2: I'll be mining Omnimagic to refine arcanite.
EDIT 3: Great minds think alike ;)

Thank Cricket. Have at it. Do you have a link to your homebrew?

I have been working on a whole magi tech society within Golarian. By severing Numeria in 1/2 and making the eastern portion a different kingdom based on magic tech from the fallen ships. I call it Omnimagic. It is a WIP but your welcome to browse/use any ideas you may find interesting. Here is the link: Omnimagic.

This is a pdf I put together and finished back in January. It's completely free and has a lot of different options in it. As for your Magitech question, in this pdf are Alchemical Wondrous Items which is the way my group handles Magitech. I hope you enjoy it

The Lost Arts

Also, as for power armor, here is a class I created a while back as well that does the whole power armor thing. Prolly not exactly what you're looking for, wanting power armor usable by every class, but this class can be easily adapted to do just that. I hope you enjoy this also.

The Armored-Engineer

Awesome stuff! Love the gem grenades and the spark wands. Also great Wondrous Alchemical Items. You should definitely expand on those :)

I'm bored: give me ideas for a new base class I can design!!!

Would you be willing to create something for my homebrew campaign Here

It sound like a new edition of pathfinder. I would be very interested in seeing it and agree with a lot of points. If you pull it off you may want to get it published for download.

I would just go for the Shifter race. I converted it to pathfinder on my site Shifter.

This is a really sweet refigure of the class. I am gonna put it on my website :)

Do you design monsters for people ever? Your monsters are pretty nice! :)

Awesome job! Great design work!

Here is my work up of them. Plus a psionic variant. Dragonborn.

just a ranged version of brilliant energy weapon. No force damage.

so what about a ranged magical force weapon. Would it have the same properties as the melee weapon: ie These weapons ignore DR and can strike incorporeal creatures. They can be suppressed in an anti magic area or by a targeted dispel?

What if the force weapon had an energy source that powered it? Would that make it cumbersome using it because you had to recharge it all the time or would that make it more balanced?

Your welcome, it was fun. I might try another if the inspiration hits me.

Have at it. :) Here at the other archetypes I am still working on. omnimagic archetype classes.

It really depends on the adventure I guess. They only come into play with mages. Like the current campaign I think I used my feats once towards a mage. Then he teleported away. :(

Awesome Toaster! Thank you you so much. I am gonna put this on my site right away. This is perfect! Omni Mage.

Sweet! The vampire liking fey blood is a True Blood theme. Keep me posted when you get it done as I would be interested in running it also.

I adopted a class from Diablo 2 that focuses on Mage Slaying. I would be interested to see what you come up with and may want to borrow them for this class. Here is more on the class: Maiden of Horadrim.

I wish like crap I'd found your page back when I was trying to do an Innistrad world of my own. Totally favorite placing your site. :)

Thanks Shadow! We should start a new thread as I would love to flesh it out more! Let me know.

Here is my breakdown of Base Class access to BO9S disciplines & stances.

The BO9S classes or other classes taking disciplines? For a non BO9S class they have to take the Blade Magic Study feat to gain access to one discipline. Certain classes can only access certain disciplines. To gain stances the class has to take Blade Magic Stance feat. If you lack any martial adept levels, your initiator level is equal to 1/2 your character level. I made some changes to the the disciplines themselves to make them increase in power as you gain levels. Does that answer your question at all? Let me know.

I have readapted BOS9 to my campaign and now call it Blade Magic. I was hoping to finsish it but the amount of Homebrew disciplines were staggering on the web. I tried to make an inclusive list of them all and their powers. This is as far as I got with it which you are welcome to borrow from. Blade Magic .

But when vampires Florian & Ramoska arrive (long before the PCs get involved),

How can they meet up with the Drow? HELP All suggestions are welcome.

The Drows defeat left them shamed in the eyes of their people. The wandered the lands and fell into the thrall of the vampires and now they become Drow/ Vamp thralls ?

But if the Vampires and Drow are staying in town how can I include Werewolves from the Ashwood?!

For me Vampires and werewolves do not get along...ever. I love the backstory in Underworld. I always have campaigns pitting vampires against werewolves. The other thing I like so much is that Vampires love Fey blood. The purer the better. Elves are ok, but you get some real fey blood and it is like the most delicious thing in the world to them. Plus they get that limited walk in the daytime immunity and boost to all their abilities. So why not have the Vamps wanting fey blood. The werewolves can be protectors of the woods and clash with the vamps but they send in their new drow thralls to deal with it instead. The vamps gain the edge with the drows and so the werewolves need to bring in the big bad Vilkacis which half the clan object to cuz they can't control it. So now you got fey, vamps, drow and werewolves. Sounds like a fun time to me. I may want to run it too!

What I did is I made the spell like abilities be able to be used a certain number of times a day and have them increase in usage as they level up. Here is a link to what I have going. http://www.dragonarmyone.com/Home/index/fantasy-house-rules/character-creat ion2/magic/sorcerer-mana-points.

For me if I push the pc's hard through a module and they have to say ' storm the castle' then have an hourly refresh time just would not make sense as they would have to rest to recharge there abilities so what do the big bads do? Just sit around waiting for them to get back? This way if the the pc needs to use his SLA in several fights back to back then he has that option. I also use action points and if they spend one then they get to use their SLA an additional time.

Also here is a link to what I have so far with omnimagic. Go to http://www.dragonarmyone.com/Home/ilysador-campaign-setting-1/omni-magic

The back story is that when the Silver Mount fell is scattered a special crystal all over the region which I called Kyaladrian crystals. Kinda like from Starcraft. A major crystal fell and grew in the area of I call Antochian Empire and these crystals are filled with energy or omnimagic that they use to craft weapons, armor and such. However the Omnimagic also affected the poeple and children began being born with spell crafting that was granted by the crystals. Omnimagic is a form of magical energy that powers equipment, weapons and armor. Some can also channel this energy to perform healing and spells. Hope that helps some. If there is still confusion let me know. I guess a lot of this is in my head and I am trying to get it out so that it makes sense.

Oh also I really like your Boon System. Can I steal it ?

I use something similar called action points. Here is they do. You might get some ideas here.

http://www.dragonarmyone.com/Home/index/fantasy-house-rules/character-creat ion2/action-points

SOme points are very intriguing but yeah it is a lot of work to restructure some of these things. How far have you gotten on it so far. Maybe you set up a google page as a reference document? I am not sure about giving non caster classes limited spell casting. Just in my game it seems tough for them to get in a few attacks let alone then have a casting option unless it was able to grow with their level. Once complaint I have with some spells is they become totally useless at higher levels.

Any chance that it may have a MAC version?

Is it me or does it seem that the class really just turns a sorcerer into a psionic based class. Was that your idea for the class? If it is then it looks interesting. Psionic powers though limited seem to me a bit more powerful then spells hence why psionic classes have so fewer ones.

It sounds like a really nice idea. I like that ability to take on the creature almost like a true shifter :)

So I am working on some homebrew archetypes for a couple of classes for my campaign and I am having trouble fleshing out one of the archetypes.

Background for the New Archtypes:
Concept: Human populace, Omni Magic, Spell Jamming. Military structured government similiar to one in Full Metal Alchemist. Practice isolationism, High magic steam punk feel. Borders Numeria and Ustalav Lake of Mists and Veils. 

Antochia  located just west of Numeria boosts a great militaristic society based on the use of Omni Magic which some say were culled from the remains of  the strange technology found in Numeria. The Antochian Empire grew from the development of this 'magic-tech' which they call Omnimagic

Antochian magical technology is second to none. Antochia believe in the Eternal Alchemy of omnimgic - the idea that all beings and magic in the world are a part or function of a greater purpose or "machine". Antochian life is built around the research of the Eternal Alchemy of omnimgic - antochians can join one of three massive colleges dedicated to this research.

It is a Sorcerer Class archetype so I am trying to create a bloodline for it as well. I call it

Omni Mage  (Sorcerer Archetype)
Touched by the essence of omnimagic these versatile spell casters have been drafted into the Antochian militia to serve the empire. Though often their spirits yearn for more they are both bound and cursed by the omnimagic energy that has merged with their souls. 

If anyone has any ideas or input that would be really awesome. I appreciate it. I am totally stuck on this one.

I did some work on this. I used the Cryx. However I am having some technical issues. On saves. How does it work. Do they use will? Do they use Fort? if they are immune to mind effects because they are a hive mind, how does that work?

https://sites.google.com/site/rpgsandiego/Home/ilysador-campaign-setting-1/ bestiary/cryx

A player wants to create a magic bonded item for his wizard that can cast scorching ray as a 3rd level caster at will. He said that the item is considered a use-activated or continuous use item with a Skill Requirement and a Class Requirement.

Scorching Ray - use at will REQ skill: Spellcraft , REQ Class:wizard

spell level 2 x caster level 3 x 2000 gp = 12,000gp (-10% - 30%... - 40%) = 7200gp

Is this correct? 1st off - can he make an item that is at will like that? I tried to look into the rules but there is nothing specific that I can see. From what I have read it seems that the item has to be limited to 3-4x per day at least. Help!

Is there an app for iPhone that helps with combat initiative? Including dice rolling, initiative, track HP for monsters and pc's and active spells. That would be amazing.

Does anyone have a good source for riddles?

I was trying to make some riddles up for an adventure. Here they are. Feedback is welcome.

I kiss the wind with fire
Glorious am I to admire
My spirit burns the eye
Many seek, but fated to die
Colors of the sun
From ash I am sprung
What am I?

A Phoenix

I live, I die, I am reborn
So small at first, but not forlorn
With time I will be mighty and strong
Until the bite of metal comes along
What am I?

An Acorn

My glory reins for all to see
I rule but have no voice in me
Within me a heart of beast does dwell
Of wing, claw and breathe so fel
What am I?

Dragon Crown

120 points of fire damage! Even with odds of it being halved and then fire resistance that is about 50 points of fire damage to everything in range. You could wipe out an entire village :(

A version doing days/level would be good adventure hook material. "I have delayed the progress of the vile contagion but you must return with the herbs from the Valley of Death before the moon begins to wane."

Good idea. I would agree. I actually ran an adventure dealing with a similiar scenario and I know this spell would have come in very handy if the players had it.

What about an ability to apply meta magic feats?

Arcane reduction starts magic resistance 5+ level?

Is Arcane Shield a conscience effort? If it is more automatic would it be considered a reflection bonus?

On Attuned weapon what about a magical modifier that increases with the characters level?

For arcane avatar you may want to consider the character becomes a magical creature and is therefore not considered humanoid and there is not effected by spells targeted at humanoids.

Just some thoughts.

Got it. Thanks.

Sounds interesting! Would this work for a sorcerer bloodline as well? As a warlock class there would need to be some pact involved.

Thanks everybody for your comments and feedback. I think I came up with something that I feel comfortable with. Now to just play test it!

Sampel spell point cost

Prepaerd catser
1stlv 1sp 2nd lv 3sp 3rd lv 5sp ext.

spontanous caster
1stlv 1sp 2nd lv 4sp 3rd lv 6sp ext

it costs 1 point more per caster level for spontaious casters but thay get 1 point more for each of thear spells above 1st.

basikly take the number of spells that thay can cast of a given spell level and multiply it by the level that thay can 1st cant that level spell spell. repeat for all levels get u your spell points. a caster can not use more spell points in a spell than caster level

Can you explain how you formulated the spell point cost?
