07-07-06, 05:11 AM Since one of the causes of Shadowcaster's weakness is the lack of powerful mysteries (exception exists, but people don't like one-way builds), i browsed PH and Spell Comp. to write down new paths (their name are really horrible, so don't judge them too harshly, please).

08-06-06, 04:10 AM I think that there should be more paths, but also a way for shadowcasters to learn more mysteries than the 1/level. At the end they know fewer "spells" than the sorcerer for the ability use some of them as spell-like or supernatural abilities. They also cast less often than the wizard does (if I understand the class correctly).

I really like the idea behind the shadowcaster and would like to play on to see how one fairs in the game. I just hope that Wizards does not abandon Shadow Magic.

In fact i changed the shadowcaster to get 2 spells/level, and one feat for every 4 schools he nets. Furthermore, when you select the school focus feat, you can choose two schools to specialize for Spell DC
