hey ar'ruum...some of us havent read MOL yet. SO thanks for that...
they are called spoilers... designed for this type of situation...
Agreed. That's not cool, Ar'ruum. Rizzen, flag his post as containing spoilers. Hopefully Ross will come through and remove it.
thanks sara!!!
that said, i dont think a single weave or whatever that thing is, should be used as a capstone. It should be a culmination of training, so something to the effect of what Ebben was thinking of would work best.
I've loved this world, did I have problems with it? Yes. An seeing it with the Pathfinder rule set would be great.
As a DM I have used a version of the Warders for years, they were basically humanoid familiars, that was more or less a linked bodyguard. The only exception was that I made them available to all casters both divine and arcane.
But seeing this updated for PF if great. An to have the Warder as a Template is a great idea. That way he/she can continue to improve his/her base class to better protect their Ward.
Having just looked at the GoogleDoc, where are the WolfBrothers and other PrC'c?
Cause I havent' been able to develop them yet. I have little babies, a job at a creative agency, and a slew of other priorities (including reading the final book in the series) that just dont' let me devote the time to this to get all the pieces developed out in a timely manner.
That said, here are my notes on a few of them...

I (finally) had a chance to look over the Dremscarred Press psionic material. First, DSP did a great job with it on the whole. Second, I would agree that using the power points as the starting concept for initiate/wilder is a great idea. Psychic enervation is a fine analogy for burning out on the Source, and you could probably use the overchanneling-hazard table directly for the consequences for failing to maintain composure while overchanneling. At this point, I think the only thing to consider is how to deal with additional weaves per day and pp reserve might interact: are the additional weaves given in the form of power points or are they more in line with spell slots?
Do you mean what impact a high channeling stat (charisma for men; wisdom for women) would have on a channeler's ability to create weaves in a day?
If so, then I'd suggest it's simply a matter of gaining additional pp's per day.
If thats not what you meant, let me know.
Secondarily, as of the last time i had gotten to work on this project, I was pouring my time into creating a secondary (home-brew, from scratch) channeling system called the Channeling Fatigue system. It's unfinished and untested, but it seems interesting to me.
Borrowing DSP's psionic system has the benefit of being... ya know... completed. :)
Yeah, working with complete mechanics makes it much easier to understand interactions.
No, I don't think there is an issue with having high gender-tied attribute score: both DSP's work and the WoT book take these into account. At present, I'm not sure how to deal with WoT's overchannel mechanic. I don't have the book on me, but as I remember there are a few options when overchanneling: increased effective caster level, increased weave level, and channeling with no slots available.
The psionic Wilder has Wild Surge to increase effective caster level, but presently there isn't a clear analogy of how to achieve higher weave levels or how to cast a weave without pps remaining. Again, I don't have the WoT book on me, but it may be simple enough to use the WoT Overchannel rules instead of (or in conjunction with) the DSP rules. That or just add a feat/ability that allows does something like the following.
For example, Chani, a 3rd level Wilder could cast a 0th or 1st level weave with out paying the pp cost. Leto, a 15th level Wilder, could use ~this~ to cast a weave of up to 4th level without paying its pp cost.
Looking at Chani and Leto again (see Alt Channel I), Chani can not use ~this~ ability to gain higher level weaves. However, Letocould use ~this~ to cast a weave of up to 10th level.
Welp, I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, might as well make this thread my first post. I might as well hop on this bandwagon and give what aid I can.
Some useful information: I have been playing WOTRPG/D&D 3.5 hybrid with some of my friends since I was around 13 or so. (Used WOT world, Channeling mechanics, and importing monsters and spells from D&D.)
When I heard about pathfinder, I bought the PDF core rulebooks and began keeping my eye on the game... thinking that I may be able to transfer over to it at some point.
That being said, My friend and DM did a painstaking conversion in order to convert D&D spells into Wheel of Time Weaves, (and he is STILL working on it)
Since Pathfinder and D&D 3.5 are practically kissing cousins, Maybe you guys might find his conversion notes useful...
If you want, I could direct him to this thread to give another set of hands; he would probably be thrilled with the challenge, when he's not at work, anyway...
As for me, I will do what I can, and applaud your efforts.
Okay, now that that is out of the way here is a question that I wanted to bring up:
What about the madness rating? How would you go about implementing that? Would you pull it directly from the Core Rulebook, use the rules from pathfinder, or just ignore it entirely?
My homebrew world is based heavily off the WoT series (in a past/future age).
I'll see if I can dig up some of my conversion stuff (although I've been working on this world since I was 14 so some may not be useful).
A proper conversion lies within. All sorts of worthy conversion.
Ar'ruum:
Probably not. I haven't had a chance to, though perhaps others did. The link I posted in August has a pretty good write-up for a conversion.
The old links on the previous page of this thread still takes you to what we did have. Did you have something in mind to do?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I certainly haven't touched any of my stuff in a while, though it's all still up and accessible.
I'm always open to hearing folks's thoughts on my conversion materials, but it's missing what is probably one of the most central pieces of the setting... Channeling rules.
So I don't expect much until I find the time (and motivation) to finish that out.
... i really should get back on it, though. :(
I love Wheel of time. Favorite series. Ever. I love pathfinder. How come nobody ever told me this was a thing?
Edit: Yes I want to see this.
I'm game to take a look at the changes, too, Aulrick.
Links not working for me...
I get "This item might not exist or is no longer available"
Well I really don't know what to tell you :\ It works fine for me.
Can anyone else confirm if it works or not?
Previous link did not work. Latest one did. Thanks, Aulrick.

Well the only real benefit from flurry for a full BAB class is the extra attacks, right? Basiclly just the TWF tree for free. Maybe just knock it down a peg. Give them one additional attack at 8, and two at 16. That gives them 50% more attacks than without flurry, but all at the typical -2.
Level 8 would be +6/+6/+1 instead of +8/+3
Level 16 would be +14/+14/+9/+9/+4/-1 instead of +16/+11/+6/+1.
This is completely without reading the document you posted though. I just now found this thread, and it makes me happy.
Found this thread just now while looking for conversion ideas on the Channelers. Liking where this seems to be going, though I haven't checked any of the links yet. Thought I'd give the thread a Bump.
Gone again! Any chance of another re-upload?
Aulrick hasn't been around in a while. I, too, would love access to his creation. Perhaps private message him?
