Currently, this page is basically just a collection of ideas and notes. Actual brewing hasn't even started yet! ==Concept== The spellweaver is a caster who weaves magic into some form of performance, such as a song, a dance, or a ballad. They are essentially an expanded version of the SRD's Bard character class, and retain some of the bard's flexible ability set. In mechanical terms, different spellweavers can adopt different roles -- the concept will be presented as a family of three character classes, and effort will go into ensuring that it's possible both to single-class as one of the three classes and to multi-class between them (as with Tome of Battle, levels in other classes will contribute towards your ability to perform songs). The three character classes, for reference, should cover the following: * A melee-focused 'harlequin' archetype (the Songblade) ** Has the least potential for assisting allies, although it's still an option. May be very effective as a 'ninja' character class. * A more mystical 'lore keeper'/'seer' archetype (the Spellsinger) ** Can assist allies * A 'wandering performer' archetype (the Wanderer) ** Covers the traditional bard archetype. Some additional archetypes that might be playable using these classes include: * Ninja/Shinobi, using a combination of the war dancer class and the sworsage * Samurai, using a combination of the lorekeeper and a martial class. I'm still brainstorming up possible names for the three classes. ===Casting Mechanic=== Blegh.
