Green Mage looks really cool, especially since there is no druid subclass. I'm about to start a play through, might try it out.
And moreover, I really like a lot of these custom subclasses made for the game!
Green Mage is a blast. I've got one in my party right now and she's a cc machine in the initial rounds of the fight and puts up solid dpr with her bow.
Are all of the elemental domains for cleric supposed to get access to the same spells? I get why you would want them to, but it seems weird that some of the spell choices are very clearly lightning oriented: thunderwave and lightning bolt.
Would it make more sense to either a) have every domain get the same spells, but have them all be generic/neutral element spells? or b) have fire and ice learn different spells than lightning bolt and thunderwave?
I love Oath of the Motherland! Talk about deepz.
FOR GONDOR!
I'm hoping Law Domain turns out to be everything I've dreamed of. Being a blue MTG player and all.
"Counter you, then Counter you. Oh you thought you were casting xD!"
FOR GONDOR!
It was everything I dreamed and Lightingbolt added so much more ;D
FOR GONDOR!
