Sorry, I assumed you planned on doing an Epic-magic style seed recombination, but that's something else.

With points spend and a limit it seems more like psionics, which is fine. Go for it.

What do you mean by the term "recombine?" I'm confused. Because I mean for casters to be able to combine the effects of spell seeds, but you appear to be talking about something... else?

Yeah, I mean even with effects that don't appear to have any immediate synergy, all you do is spend SP and produce the effects as part of a single action.

So, for example, you could spend 2SP in a single action, 1 on Sheltered Vitality to heal/protect an ally, 1 on Hypnotism to simultaneously fascinate a cone of your enemies. Instead you could have spent 2SP on Sheltered Vitality for more healing or 2SP on Hypnotism for double the HD fascinated.

I would like to see a base classed based around shapeshifting.  No or limited spellcasting.  The PHII shapeshift varient may be a decent starting point.

I just found this over at GitP. It seems actually awesome. I'd call it Tier 1, no spellcasting, all about shapeshifting. Nice job, Realms.

You know, you just gave me an idea for a monster...

Remember that fiend that can combine with itself? I'm thinking something like that+slithers.

You may cry now.
[spoiler]Fighter: "I can kill a guy in one turn."
Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".
[/spoiler]

My final project for my film independent study course. It could do with a watching and critiquing

You know what? Slither invasion is not a bad idea for a campaign, its the ultimate "Oh shit, a wizard did it". plus its just a random assortment of powers, might involve difficult logistics.

 Creating encounters is an art too... and important as a dm resource. Yes it is difficult becaue you must use the stat block, but also because you need to come up with a tactics section.
