    It sounds like the weave is a wet cloth that wizards stand under. If they touch it, their hands get wet with magic. They can tug on it and twist it to get more power. If they pull too hard, they can tear it and be drowned in magic that falls through unfiltered.

    Ive always liked to think of the Weave as like the internet, or World Wide Web. Its nowhere and everywhere at the same time. You cant touch it yet it touches everything. If you have the capability to tap into it you can access the magic energy, like data from the net. The Shadow Weave would obviously be the darknet lol.

    I treat it like a quantum field, like the electromagnetic field. If you are able to interact with the electromagnetic field, you can do some magical things: radio, light, electricity, magnetism, electronics, etc. Same with the Weave. It's all around us all the time; it's just a matter of figuring out how to interact with it.

    I just want to thank you for all the hard work you've done. While I've dabbled in D&D for quite some time, it wasn't until recently that I've decided to take it seriously. You have saved me time and money by investing your own into the very same research I was going to do. Your method is entertaining as well as a informative, which makes it very easy to listen to. With so MANY books and time periods out there, it was hard to figure out where to start, but you've given it all to me, from the beginning. I know my players will thank you as well, since your help has given them a rich and immersive environment. Please keep up the good work!

    Worth noting that IOUN stones aren't from D&D. They're from the fiction of Jack Vance, on which the magic system of D&D is based. You'll see a lot of stuff about IOUN stones in the book "Rhialto the Marvelous". The villain Vecna is so named as an anagram of Vance.

    In one of our campaigns, we had a Netherese Shadovar Wizard who was around from the good old days. What was amusing what that I was playing an Elan psionicist from Jhaamdath, so I would occasionally call him "Youngster". Could you do a section on Jhaamdath, or if there's not enough material, on the Ancient Realms kingdoms in general?

    I think the Mythallar and flipping mountains were 10th or 11th level spells. Which Mystra stopped access too after Karsus' Folly. Still in your homebrew Forgotten Realms maybe they've found a way to tap back into them :D

  • @Drew-qs2wk
    @Drew-qs2wk4 жыл бұрын

    Wizard is also my favorite class! I have a lot of second favorite classes, though: paladin, monk, rogue, fighter... I have a homebrew build I'm working on for young dragons who are polymorphed into humanoid forms, living most of their lives that way. They have innate spellcasting due to their nature as dragons, so I give them levels in draconic bloodline sorcerer for every character level (specializing in one or two appropriate elements and types of spells; a polymorphed gold dragon isn't the kind of person who wants to create an army of undead) and half-levels in whatever class they have for each level. This way they keep their innate spellcasting property as dragons and accept some penalty in character classes, but they still get to polymorph into young dragons and get things like a flying speed and great melee weapon attacks. In humanoid form and draconic form they have the same mental abilities (int, wis, cha) and different physical abilities (str, dex, con). IN MY GAMES, I INTEND THIS BUILD FOR NPCs and I want the draconic nature of these characters to be revealed gradually for the PCs; I just think it's a cool "destined companion" kind of NPC or (in the case of chromatic dragons) villain. // Example, I have a young silver dragon who masquerades as a young adult human woman with a noble background. She uses a stone as an arcane focus which is actually the silver orb of dragonkind. When I discovered this item, I was inspired to make this Sailor Moon kind of character, and while this is very different as I tried to take out a lot of tropes, she retained a name based on her inspiration: Tsuki. I haven't played with her, but I'm planning for her personality to be a little snobby, driven but good-hearted. The silver orb of dragonkind offers a once-per-year ability where something like 2d12 characters can be resurrected as with the true resurrection + greater restoration spells, so that's like an emergency switch if I throw something so powerful at my players that they have half a party die or something. It may be a little OP to have NPC companions who can true polymorph into dragons, but this is the kind of thing metalic dragons do. Silver or brass dragons are probably more likely to be companions than gold or copper dragons, but I just wanted to play with this concept. ... And no, I won't be throwing a lot of orbs of dragonkind in my campaign. They are after all wondrous one-of-a-kind artifacts.

    I'm reading a series about the Netherese Empire, with the crazy floating castles. From what I understand, it was about 2,000 years before 5E takes place, and there was crazy powerful magic back then, like up to 13th level. I think after the fall of the Empire some god was like "hey, knock off all that powerful magic, you gonna break something!", so now magic only goes to level 9.

    I don't like the weave Very much, now don't get me wrong, theirs is nothing wrong with It, I Just prefere Magic that comes from pure energy, aether, quintenssece, mana etc..., rather than something like the force, because than It sounds more personal, like It comes from you, sure you can harness It from your surroundings like druids and clerics, but It still has a connection with you, instead of being indefernt to you, when a powerful spellcaster dies the weave is unafected, even If It is a sorcerer for example.... I don't know How to really explains It, maybe I Just think There should not be a "the" for Magic
