Terah's base classes, the spark and the charlatan, as well as the prestige class the earthsinger are now available as a free download! Terah can add variety and spice to any campaign, commerical and homebrew and it sure doesn't hurt to try!
Who will you be in Terah?
Out of respect for the amount of inspiration we've received from Phil and Kaja Foglio and their "Girl Genius" web comic, we want to make sure that fans everywhere have access to the spark specifically. And while we were at it, we figured we'd add some bonus material, like some other classes.
I DLed it and gave it a once over. It looks interesting. I noticed a error though the spell Shadow Guard under level just say 8. No class, nothing else. I am guessing it is suppose to be Level: Charlatan 8

Oops. I thought we fixed that. Yes, it's charlatan.
I just got this PDF and it's looking pretty good from a brief skim, but there's one thing that stands out to me right away. I see on pg 12+13 that Sparks get 0-level spells (cantrips or orisons), and so far I've seen Detect Illusion and Remove Oxidation that shows that Sparks can use them.
But the thing is, the Spark's spell list actually doesn't list any 0-level spell. None at all. For that matter, the class description doesn't even mention how/if cantrips works in the class. Ummm, slight miss?

Read 'Tools,' under the class features. That's the section that describes how they work. Long story short, Sparks get all of the sorcerer/wizard cantrips.
I especially like the Spark's Cannibalize ability. As written, you can use it for mundane crafting as well as magical, using any item as contribution. You could craft jewels from plate armors to transport loot, and then use those shiny jewels to craft a magic item later. You could use an already-made item to craft a superior version. You could use an item to craft the same item with different abilities or statistics (such as a flaming dagger into a frost sword).
Seems too good to be true. Is it?
Additionally, the Spark is proficient in whatever weapon she crafts. So she can take that measly +2 butter knife and use it to craft any +2 exotic weapon from it, and be proficient in it as well? If yes, that's nice as well.
