Salernodc 08-01-07, 01:24 PM	Here is a stab at creating a "warrior"/martial adept response to the powerful Nether Scrolls from Lost Empires of Faerun. The Resharian Scrolls Requirements: BAB 23+ or 25+, Wisdom 17+, Martial Lore 20 ranks, knowledge of 9th level maneuver from the style the particular scroll is connected with.... Ingeniosus Bellatrix: • +2 bonus on all attack & damage rolls • Feats: Stormguard Warrior, Weapon Mastery (Iron Heart weapons), Weapon Supremacy (any one Iron Heart weapon) • 3 bonus maneuvers known; 1 bonus maneuver readied – Iron Heart discipline Firmitas Fortitudo: • +3 bonus to Strength • Feats: Epic Endurance or Epic Toughness , Improved Bullrush or Improved Sunder, Shards of Granite • 3 bonus maneuvers known; 1 bonus maneuver readied – Stone Dragon discipline Actuarius Athleticus: • +3 bonus to Dexterity • Feats: Acrobatic, Agile, Epic Speed, Scorching Sirocco • 3 bonus maneuvers known; 1 bonus maneuver readied – Desert Wind discipline Divinus Toleratio: • +3 bonus to Constitution • Feats: Extra Granted Maneuver*, Faith Unswerving, Great Smiting • 3 bonus maneuvers known; 1 bonus maneuver readied – Devoted Spirit discipline Acies Anancites: • +1 bonus to Wisdom; +2 bonus to Dexterity • Feats: Epic Skill Focus (Concentration), Extra Readied Maneuver*, Perfect Clarity of Mind and Body • 3 bonus maneuvers known; 1 bonus maneuver readied – Diamond Mind discipline Regnator Tigridis: • +3 bonus to Strength • Feats: Legendary Leaper, Reaping Talons, Two Weapon Rend • 3 bonus maneuvers known; 1 bonus maneuver readied – Tiger Claw discipline Praeditus Principis: • +3 bonus to Charisma • Feats: Blooded, Clarion Commander, Epic Leadership • Feats: 3 bonus maneuvers known; 1 bonus maneuver readied – White Raven discipline Artificis Umbrae: • +3 bonus to Dexterity • Feats: Gloom Razor, Self-Concealment, Swift & Silent • 3 bonus maneuvers known; 1 bonus maneuver readied – Shadow Hand discipline Callidus Solis: • +3 bonus to Wisdom • Feats: Distant Horizon, Exceptional Deflection, Strong Soul • 3 bonus maneuvers known; 1 bonus maneuver readied – Setting Sun discipline * These feats are effective even if they have been taken once before. Normally, the aforementioned feats (Extra Granted Maneuever and Extra Readied Maneuver) can only be taken once. The scrolls' power supersedes this limitation.

Make it a bonus to attack and damage. Also, competence bonuses don't stack, so the ability boosts should be unnamed or be rendered moot.
Karsus the Mad 08-06-07, 09:17 AM	Goodness; these are powerful. Are you sure this is on par with the Nether Scrolls? The entire Nether Scrolls (all five chapters) gives +1 level to arcane spellcasting class, +1 DC to arcane spells, +30 spellcraft, 3 item creation feats, 75% item creation cost, Craft Construct, constructs crafted have max HP, Planeshift 1/day, immunity to debilitating planar traits, and the knowledge to craft artifacts (however, this last chapter doesn't go into any detail about specifics, it merely says an unknown key is required to access the information. In previous editions, that key was the complete understanding of the previous four chapters). A single set of Nether Scrolls is 5 chapters of 10 scrolls each. Each scroll takes approximately one full month of dedidcated study. To study the entire NS would take over four entire years of dedicated study. The Resharian Scrolls above grants over two dozen feats, not including the other bonuses such as large ability boosts? That's a bit high isn't it, if you want to keep them on par with the Nether Scrolls?
