Geoff PS - Is it just me, or are the Vaults inaccessible? -- Geoff Gander, BA 97, MPA 02 Carnifex Loremaster/Mad Roleplayer Master of the Elemental Plane of Bureaucracy au998@freenet.carleton.ca : www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Realm/2091 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2004 15:46:58 +0100 From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Havard=20Faanes?= Subject: The Radience for 3.5 THE RADIANCE The Radiance is the source of all magic on Mystara. (Though whether that refers to just the planet of Mystara, Inner World and Hollow World, or even beyond that, the moons, entire solar system or beyond is unclear). The Radiance is a magical artifact of immense power, created by the Old Ones themselves. Due to some tampering by the Immortal Noumenna, it began to slowly drain magic from the world. After the alterations that happened to the Radience during the Wrath of the Immortals events, this drain was changed to temporarily drain forces within the realm of Entropy, thus restoring the original magic level of Mystara after a few years of the Day of Dread, when magic didn’t work. However, the brief association with Entropy somehow contaminated the Elder Artifact. Anyone using the Radiance to achieve Immortality from this point on will become Entropic Immortals. RADIANCE RULES FOR D&D 3.5 In order to use the Randience, the character must have levels in the Radience Mage Prestige class. If the DM allows it, learning about the existance of the Radience may be solved by making a Gather Information check (DC 35, -5 if the character can cast arcane spells. –5 if the character is living in Glantri. –5 if the character is a student of the Great School of Magic. Characters with 4 or more ranks in Knowledge Arcana also gain a +2 bonus on this check.) Failure means the character must wait another year before making a new attempt. Once the character learns about the Radiance, he may construct himself a Radiance Receptacle. This is considered a wondrous magical item. Details/costs: TBD. In addition to these costs, the wizard must spend another 10,000 gp for the crystal required. Once the Receptacle has been constructed, the Brotherhood of the Radiance will contact the character. Dangers of the Radiance: Physical Danger: Casting Radiance Spells may corrupt the casters body. In order to cast a Radiance spell, the character must make a Concentration check, even if not engaged in combat or similarly disturbed. (Unless other distractions are present, the DC for this check is 15. Otherwise use the normal DCs for spellcasting.) If a natural 1 is rolled, the character must make a Fortitude Save (DC 15) or suffer from the corrupting effects of the Radiance. Roll on the table below to find out which body part is affected. D20 Body part 1-2 Left hand 3-4 Right hand 5-6 Right arm 7-8 Left arm 9-10 Left leg 11-12 Right leg 13-14 Right foot 15-16 Left foot 17-18 Torso 19-20 Face/Head If the body part has already been affected, roll again. The affected body part looks withered or misshapen. Extremities (arms, legs, feet, hands) affected are rendered useless. Face or head affected grants a –2 to charisma. Torso reduces constitution by 2. A character with all 10 areas affected becomes a lich, controlled by the DM. The Radiance used to deplete the magic level of Mystara according to the number of active users, but this effect has now been removed (see above). The magic drain level is currently around 100 Rad Force Drained, resulting in one day each year when magic does not work. (Personal note: IMC this effect lasted only for a few years following AC1010 before the magic level again recovered and the Day of Dread ceased to occur. No fun with the DoD.) Spells of the Radiance: These spells will be detailed later. Most spells may be used more or less as is. The Call upon Radience spell now increases the effect of other spells cast by one caster level instead of the effect originally described. ===== *** Håvard R.

Requirements To qualify to become a Radiance Mage, a character must fulfill all the following criteria. Skills: Knowledge (arcana) 9 ranks, Spellcraft 9 ranks. Spells: Ability to cast 7th-level arcane spells Special: The character must learn about the Radiance through research (see other mail) and create a Radiance Receptacle (see other mail). Class Skills The Radiance Mage’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (alchemy) (Int), Knowledge (all skills taken individually) (Int), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), and Spellcraft (Int). Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier Table : The Radiance Mage Level Base Attack Bonus Fort Save Ref Save Will Save Special Spells per Day 1st +0 +0 +0 +2 Brotherhood Contacts +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class 2nd +1 +0 +0 +3 Radiance Magic I +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class 3rd +1 +1 +1 +3 Radiance Magic II +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class 4th +2 +1 +1 +4 Radiance Magic III +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class 5th +2 +1 +1 +4 Radiance Magic IV +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class 6th +3 +2 +2 +5 Radiance Magic V +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class 7th +3 +2 +2 +5 Radiance Magic VI +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class 8th +4 +2 +2 +6 Radiance Magic VII +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class 9th +4 +3 +3 +6 Radiance Magic VIII +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class 10th +5 +3 +3 +7 Radiance Magic IX +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class Class Features All of the following are Class Features of the loremaster prestige class. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Loremasters gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor. Spells per Day/Spells Known: When a new loremaster level is gained, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. This essentially means that she adds the level of loremaster to the level of some other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly. Brotherhood Contacts: Once the Radiance Mage has created a Radiance Receptacle, he is contacted by the Brotherhood of the Radiance through the receptacle. At 1st level he is able to contact other members of the Brotherhood and may ask them for advice or help. The members are extremely secretive about their identities and will not do anything that will make them reveal this, even to other Radiance Members. Furthermore, members will want something in return for favors done. Radiance Magic I through IX: This ability allows the Radiance Mage to gain access to all Radiance Spells of that spell level. For instance Radiance Magic III allows the Radiance Mage to learn and use all 3rd level Radiance Spells as part of his regular spell reservoir. This does not allow the caster to use spells of higher spell level than he would normally be able to. ===== *** Håvard R.
