05-23-07, 01:58 AM Hey I'm going to play LG today in about 9 hours... and when i downloaded the LGCS 597 PDF file I got an error trying to open it.

Basically, are 3.5 psions allowed? Is everything from the XPH allowed?

If not, any tips on what to avoid or major changes?

If psionics are totally banned I'll stick to my grey elf wizard.

There is no psionics for PCs in Greyhawk I am afraid.

FYI
You may need to update your PDF reader. You will need one that can open Adobe Acrobat 7.0 files. If you run Windows 98, Foxit reader is one that still runs on that OS and can read 7.0 files. Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 itself doesn't install properly and/or at all on Windows 98, but it does on Windows 2000 (not sure about Windows ME).

Polymorph, and alter self are basically removed from the campaign, except perhaps for crafting purposes (not sure on that last bit).

05-23-07, 09:00 AM Ok guys you answered well. Oh, well, wizards ARE fun, and alot more powerful than psions anyway.

I'd heard that polymorph and alter self-based spells were changed alot, with you retaining your base type and all, but they are basically not allowed? Can you elaborate bitz?

Oh and any other (arcane) spells that are banned/wastly changed?

So far I'm 1st level and using sleep, magearmor, color spray and shocking grasp - they're probably unchanged.

OK, downloaded acrobat reader 8, now it works well. Strange the program didn't tell me to update.

05-23-07, 10:24 AM Take a look at page 17 of the LGCS, I think it covers most of it. The other section to look at is Appendix 4.

BTW I played my wizard yesterday and we had a blast. The session was short because we pretty much talked out way out of confrontations, and we even managed to gain the favor of two OPPOSING houses of Nearie, for helping them both.
