I'm thinking that there should be some sort of orginization out there that hunts wizards and spellscared in this new 4e world. If there is then can some one point them out to me. If not then we really need to jump on it. There is thick plot line here and if no one has seen it yet I will be very disapointed.

There is magehound in the Shining South and some kind of a thief stealing magic (can't remember the exact name). And you can make ur-priest steal power in the realms instead of from the gods. Many possibilities. Name the organization whatever.
"Death to the Spellplague" ;) for example.

-The Spellthief class literally steals magic from others.

Oh yes I know of the classes and what not,but I was curious as to any specific lore that has come out with the 4e revolution. You'd think there would be one Orginization with some sort of vendeta agaisnt all the arcane and spell plague tied materials. With all the damaging things happen (i.e. wizards exploding, spellplague deaths) you'd think there was some sort of crusade out against those whom which the naive people would think responsible. A literal witch hunt actually.

I don't think you need anything in the FRCG mentioned to make it real. The attitude is there and can take place anywhere. I would consider this to be an assumed practice, IMO.

-Well, let's be frank here: It's not like the FRCG/FRPG goes into extreme detail. It certainly is something that could exist. We already know that there is some prejudice against Spellscarred people, so...

Can I be Jim then?

I think such a concept is a must, personally. I mean, if we suddenly have a KKK for orcs in 4e, there has to be one for magic users/Spellscarred, etc.

-Ah, yes, the CCC. Great organization there...

-In LEoF, there was something like a "Netherese Hunter" type PrC. Cultist of the Shattered Peak, I think it was. Their ranks certainly could have grown.

Eh, you know me and mechanics--can't say. The Netherese Hunter seems perfectly apt though.

Even if such a groupsas the OP describes doesn't currently exist, with the number of PC's that jump on Spellscars rises, the more Wizards will feed it. And, as this is now a "Points of Light" setting, then they will get more villainy than bonus, I'd say.

To me it just seems a likely course for someone to take. If it's not there yet I'll just sit around twiddling my thumbs until it does come about.

Thus, my point.

Snap to it!
