Scarab Sages

Hey gamers
I just brought Ultimate Magic and I now have a ton of questions.
Looked at the forum but couldn’t find them all so here are the questions I couldn’t find.

• How does the Varient Channel work, as I can see you channel positive energy when healing and change to negative energy when harming, so you have no chance of dealing damage to undeads If you had nature. Is this true? Or how should understand the new channeling?

• Under the Cloistered Cleric I think there might be a typo that the skills does not replace the clerics skills from a normal cleric, is that correct?

• The Wizard got 2 more elemental schools but then they make a circle of 5 elements that don’t mention air? So if I choose earth as a school I get 2 opposite schools Air from APG and Wood from UC?

• Tactics Inquisition gives you Grant the Initiative (Ex): At 8th level, you and all allies within 30 feet may add your Wisdom bonus to your initiative checks. Does this mean that you + your wisdom modifier for each ally to your initiative roll or you and each ally get your wisdom modifier to their initiative roll?

• Grant Initiative Not only are you a master at taking the initiative, but you can also grant it to someone else. Prerequisites: Cunning initiative class feature. Benefit: At the start of each encounter, you can either choose to keep the bonus granted to you by your Wisdom modifier on initiative checks or choose to give that bonus to one of your allies that you can see. You must make this choice before you or the ally you are granting the bonus to makes the initiative check. Cunning initiative class feature what is this searched ultimate magic and didn’t find any clue on how to get this prerequisite.

Elemental school wizards only get 1 opposition school.

You and your allies get your Wisdom bonus to initiative rolls.

Inquisitor base class from the APG.

Thanks but the elemental school has a rule that you have to take the opposite school as opposition school and then Earth got both air and wood that must be taken? else there is conflict between the rules of UC and APG

You get one or the other, depending on whether you believe in a four-element system or a five-element system. This is determined by your world-setting and/or country of origin and/or personal beliefs.


This is just how we do opposition schools for elemental wizards:

In the 4-element system you're opposed by your opposite element (Fire-Water and Air-Earth)

In the 5-element system it's sort of a circular pattern where your element is strong against the element to one side and weak against the other. The opposition element is whatever that element is considered weak against.
