Hi folks, Major updates to my 4th edition re-boot. Magic is now more costly and the effects of dwindling power are now detailed. It was clear that magic was just too easy. Previously it cost 1 power +1 per spell level to cast a spell, now it costs 1 plus level x2. A huge change; the wizard is not happy but now magic isn't the first choice for solving every problem... Magic foci gain levels at the same rate the owner does - but only if a point of ST is permanently sacrificed. After what must be over 100 hours of playtesting, the Experience Point table has been re-jigged yet again. Also characters now get EPs for the usual stuff like slaying mosters and makeing SRs. A few items of equipment has been added; some new spells; reworded some old spells. I've reformated some of the text to make better use of available space and added some evocative artwork that I've found around the place - it's not PD stuff so it's only there while I create my own. sites.google.com/site/thedarkisles/pdf-filesThe file in question is now called 4th Edition Mk3.

Awesome! *downloads like a good drone* Now... Can I critique? Thanks. Out of the four (very cool) illustrations, three are wizards and one is a monster. Where are the buckles bein' swashed?!? Where be the ships? Incidentally, I'm looking forward to a further 'brushed-up' copy, because I really want to sent it off to either printme1.com/ or load it up as a "private project" at Lulu to get a meself a hardcopy. Arrr!!

Very nice .I love the added art work and the spell cost? Well, I had to smile in adapting your Dark Isle Rules{an Exalt Due you there} I upgraded the spell costs in an identical manner. You've also made me a believer in Fourth Edition Ideas.

Glad to hear that Zedofan, with 4th ed the numbers are so small you don't even need spite to knobble the deadlock, it just doesn't happen!
