I was looking through some of the old Dragon Magazine articles recently and was once again amazed to read this first line in the Enhancing the Enchanter...

If I EVER get to run a game again, the campaign will be centered on an area that will make use of water magics a desired college. I am willing to bet that few...

I think this is an artifact of the change from DQ 1st Edition to 2nd Edition - in 1st Edition you could get to rank 6 - in 2nd you need 8 but a lot of the...
non-munchins that are true die-hard role-players don't care as much and for them 'rules' are never really a problem. Rules really only matter for 'munchins',...
They are certainly not all 'perfectly balanced' but E&E is certainly not week - it is one of the more powerful ones but is a bit slower to advance. Fire magics...
My first and most powerful adept PC was a shadow weaver. In fact, another player in that campaign, of character that was of the *fire magics college* was so...
This was one of many the reasons why the rules (arcane wisdom) are not play balanced - the original rules are a lot more balanced than this. So of course it...
... *shudder* We had some illusionists that were a lot of fun, and then we had some that got downright obscenely abusive. I recall much debating over this...

These are spells that were using in our modified ruleset. Im not sure if they exist in, or are variation of the core rules. Dehydration (S-2) Range: 20 feet +...

Jason, I would be interested in seeing what your group has come up with. Since your group is involved in a sea-based game, have you developed any naval rules?...
