Erickson and the Malazan books, followed closely my George RR Martin and the Thrones books -- though I wish he'd release another one already.

<t>I'm completely against folding the illusionist into a 2nd edition-like watered down specialization mechanic. It was a waste.... the illusionist spells are balanced against each other as a class... when you start allowing standard wizards access to the sweetest illusionist spells, like Improved In...

<t>I'm for keeping it a 'Guide'.<br/> <br/> Backpack is not evocative of anything informative, creative, or exciting to me. A backpack itself is mundane and empty -- it's the stuff you put inside it that's interesting. Like if you put a Guide inside it, for instance. <br/> Plus it's confusing market...

<t>I like it as well. I do think Serl is right though -- what if feat of x added a bonus of 1/2 the character's level (rounded down) to the attribute check? A 12th level demon hunter gaining a +6 bonus to the attribute seems more sane. Although I haven't seen it in play. <br/> Really great class tho...

<t>I actually loathed the specialist wizards in 2e -- they butchered the illusionist for one thing and ruined the theme of the class. Spells on the illusionist that were balanced for one casting class progression were thrown willy-nilly into the wizard's spell list and the illusionist, which was a t...

<t>I'm for using an attribute for it -- wisdom would be my pick. But you as CK could give certain classes you feel should be naturally more perceptive a boost to perception rolls. That way you don't necessarily push all players to pick Wisdom as a prime stat. I guess the ranger comes to mind.<br/> <...
