Occupational Template: Hexblade

Occupational Template: Hexblade

Another D&D class-turned-template. It was difficult to stuff everything in - I guess, a proper hexblade would be at least a 200-point character.

Monster: Aerial Servant

Monster: Aerial Servant

The aerial servant is a naturally invisible air elemental that is not very smart, but can lift heavy weights and locate any target. This creature, mostly intended for summoning, appeared in the first edition of D&D and did not make it into D&D 3.5 despite being, dare I say it, a somewhat iconic monster.

Sorcery: Fire Spells III

Sorcery: Fire Spells III

Have you ever played with GURPS Magic and felt that there's not enough spells? The biggest fan resource that I know is Patyrsun's Codex Arcanum. Despite being written for the third edition, it is a great compilation of spells for all colleges. It can be easily adapted for use in the fourth edition (you can also fix the spelling there because it makes even me weep blood sometimes). I've had people request a sorcery conversion of Codex Arcanum, but even before that I converted some specific spells from that compendium. I think it's time to come back to it, as it has some interesting and weird spells. I will not convert everything, just the things that I like. I'm going to start with the college of Fire, as it is the most undeveloped elemental college.

Monster: Deepspawn

Monster: Deepspawn

The deepspawn is one of my favorite Forgotten Realms monsters. This is the type of a creature that you can build an entire campaign around as it really defines the ecology around it. Its ability to spawn other beings is not something you should be building in GURPS, but I did it just to show you that it is indeed possible.

Monsters: Exotic Steeds

Monsters: Exotic Steeds

I got a request to convert the dragonnel - a draconic horse, but I decided to also do some other exotic mounts. The drakkensteed is yet another draconic horse. The lesser nightmare is a normal nightmare without astral projection, flight, and etherealness. The ur'Epona is an extraplanar horse that can travel between the planes.

Sorcery: Wizardly Study

Sorcery: Wizardly Study

Am I ever going to stop? The previous post about the wizardry rework got some feedback as well, and one of the suggestions was to come up with my own Modular Ability to use instead of Sorcerous Empowerment. And I thought - why not? I did that with Clerical/Divine Empowerment, after all (and I might need to rework those too).

Sorcery: Wizardry Revised

Sorcery: Wizardry Revised

Lately, I have been receiving some feedback regarding my wizardry framework. People said that it's too convoluted and unappealing. I partially agree, so let's try another writeup that takes into account the suggestions I've received. If it works well, then I'll have to rework other subsystems that are based on wizardry and/or spells with skills.
