Their great flexibility and colorful nature really seems to fit better into Birthright than the standard PH stuff. Best of all, the high-level effects (while impressive) are a lot less game-breaking than, say, teleport without error, harm or mass haste. On the other hand, the mastersmiths of Anuire would very probably have developed some of the articulated plate armors from AU, while many of the more exotic arms there would look right at place in the hands of some Vos varsk-cavalry or the soldiers of The Serpent.ĪU has the most flexible and innovative magic system I've seen - even the most basic caster has access to three different versions of each spell, and can alter/enhance the spells further with a few feats. Most of the gear in AU is a bit exotic for my taste - dire weapons and articulated shields don't feel very Cerilian. The giants of Cerilia could also be swapped for the AU version with only minimal rewriting - though they'd be more primitive and clannish than those from a Diamond Throne campaign. though you could swap out loresong faen for the Cerilian halfling and few would be the wiser. Naturally, you'd have to develop Cerilian races rather than use the AU ones. The analogs of Cerilian culture and the AU classes are fairly clear-cut. (Though that WILL gimp other spellcasters a bit, it's truer to the source material.)

The template would, of course, be a prerequisite for taking levels of Magister: if you're REALLY strict you could even make the template a prerequisite for any Complex Spells, Exotic Spell or Unique Spell feat. I disagree with the recent Dragon suggestion that Blooded should be a feat: it's more like a template (usually inherited, sometimes acquired) - a PC can start with Tainted (no LA) or Minor (LA +1) and work his way up via bloodtheft. But for those of you who've seen the product in question, has anybody thought of using the class and spellcasting rules presented there to re-develop their Birthright campaigns?īrecht unfettered, Vos totem warriors, and - of course - the ever-loving Champions of (name of your PC's realm here!) I didn't notice until I came across my old Birthright stuff, but a conversion to 3.AU might be a good deal easier than switching things over to either of the WotC versions. If you're not familiar with Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed, this particular idea will whiz right past you.
