I suggest lots of NPCs (at various levels) with spellcasting abilities (but also non-spellcasters to check for balance) for the adventure. Speaking of enemy spellcasters, how does the mana point systems affect spell-like abilities?

Also, is it really so that a bard casts spells better than a wizard at level one? That can't be right!

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

Because Bards are KOOL!

What do you mean about bards casting spells better than wizards at 1st level? Bards have 1 spell known, though they do have more MP.

That may actually be a little bit of a problem; perhaps bards could go back to their previous no 1st level spells at 1st level?

According to the article in "the Post", a wizard has 1 spell known, and 1 mp. A bard has 1 spell known and 2 mps. The wizard beats the bard pretty quick, but he's definitely behind at first level. :)

Just a note to everyone, I'll be making a character just as soon as the 3E profiler comes back online, which should hopefully be soon.

If that looks to be too far along, just tell me and I'll get to work on my sorceror...

Brainface, I was looking over your stats: is there a reason your attack bonuses seem to be missing the +1 attack bonus for being small? And there are some errors on your skill table; the modifiers seem right, but the math isn't.

Oh, and that happened because of the method I determined MP. I'll switch the Bard back to 1 mp, like the formula I made says (they should have 1.5 at first level, so I should have rounded down).

I have no idea when Ish plans to redo that. You're probably better off using neptune's table, but that is a lot more typing. :/

Just use the table Crit please; does the 3eprofiler take into account variant systems?
