Even more Alternate Discipline Mechanics

Postby Slimcreeper » Sat Feb 11, 2012 4:27 pm

Hey guys, I'm going to be running something online. We all have 1st ed ED in common, so that's what we'll be playing (my ED Compendiums continue to go unused!)

I do like the options that Redbrick has brought into advancement and I'd like to offer something like that to my players. As a blunt solution, I am thinking of letting them choose any talent in any order within the experience levels (Initiate, Novice, Journeyman, and Warden), leaving only Thread Weaving anchored at 4th for non-spellcasters. So a Novice Elementalist coming into 3rd Circle could choose any 2 from Fire Heal, Air Speaking, Elemental Tongues, Elemental Hold, or Spell matrix, depending on what he'd already picked up.

I am comfortable with the change in tone and philosophy, but I only wonder about the balance issues that I should watch out for. (I'm assuming that they will be at least somewhat more powerful.) There will be an obsidiman elementalist in the party and one unknown.
