Comments

soon to come. just not quite yet. -grypph

Just as an unwanted comment, I'm concerned that a Solar Sorceror with Sorceror Needs No Books won't need a library to study from, due to the name. That seems like it unbalances the feel of the "Solars search to reclaim the lost age" theme of the game, especially as it's fairly simple for a starting character to have this charm. Now, one that means you don't need tools to do your research, such as occult paper, essence compasses, rare sea salt, etc, that's reasonable. Just want to see what your actual intent is, and give you a heads up as to some concern. -- GreenLantern, who posted before he should
