Magic of Faern Web Errata

Here are the rules corrections and official errata for the first printing of Magic of Faern. As always, were happy to address specific rules questions you have; contact [email protected]. Thanks and good gaming! Version 2152002 p. 1, Credits: Add "Sam Wood" to the list of interior artists. p. 5: Caption should read Karsus destroys Mystryl Paragraph 2, sentence 2: Change Myrkul to Helm p. 1213, Last sentence on page 12: Change "cold" to "electricity" Next-to-last sentence of third paragraph on page 13: Change "electrical" to "cold" p. 17, Col 2, paragraph 1: Change moon potions to moondraught Page 21, Augment Summoning feat: Change second line of the Benefit section to They gain +1 hit point per hit die and a +1 competence bonus on their attack and damage rolls. p. 22, Replacement for Spell Thematics feat: Spell Thematics [General] You have developed a signature thematic manifestation that gives your spells unique visual or auditory qualities. You are more effective when casting spells strongly linked to your theme, and any spell you cast reflects your signature theme to a greater or lesser extent. Benefit: Choose a theme for your spellcasting. You cast spells designated as central to your theme at +1 caster level. Add +5 to the DC of any Spellcraft check made to identify any spell you cast, whether or not it is designated as a thematic spell. A spell theme is comprised of two components. The first is a set of spells central to your theme. This consists of one spell at each spell level you can cast. For example, a 5th-level wizard might select ray of frost, magic missile, Snilloc's snowball swarm, and fly as spells central to his theme. The second component is a common visual or auditory effect all your spells share, such as "fire," "ice," or "screaming skulls." The special effect does not change the spells in any way, other than enhancing your caster level with the spells you choose to be central to your theme. For example, if your theme is "fire," then your magic missile spell might appear to produce bolts of fire, although the bolts are still a force effect and cause normal damage, not fire damage. If your theme is "screaming skulls," your fly spell might manifest as a dozen small screaming skulls that orbit around you, bearing you aloft. p. 25: Add after the first sentence: An artificer may research additional device powers as if they were spells. p. 27, guild wizard: Replace Spells per Day with Spells per Day/Spells Known p. 29, Requirements list for the Harper mage: Remove Education from the Feats line. Requirements list for the Harper mage: Add Knowledge (local) 5 ranks to the Skills line. p. 29, Harper mage: Replace Spells per Day with Spells per Day/Spells Known p. 30, Harper priest: Replace Spells per Day with Spells per Day/Spells Known p. 30, Incantatrix: Replace Spells per Day with Spells per Day/Spells Known p. 31, Caption: Replace current caption with Incantatrix p. 32, Column 1: Magic of Faern Web Errata V.2152002 2002 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

Add after the last sentence of the Instant Metamagic ability: The incantatrix cannot use this ability if the metamagicked spell would normally use a spell slot of a higher level than she could cast. For example, a Wiz5/Incantatrix4 could not use an instant metamagic Still Spell any of her 5th-level spells because she does not have any spell slots above 5th level. p. 33, Mage-killer: Replace Spells per Day with Spells per Day/Spells Known p. 35, Master alchemist: Replace Spells per Day with Spells per Day/Spells Known p. 36, Mystic wanderer: Replace Spells per Day with Spells per Day/Spells Known p. 37, Spelldancer requirements: The Perform fallacy, requiring 6 ranks in Perform (dance) should be Perform (dance, other forms) 6 ranks p. 37, Add this paragraph after Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Spells per Day/Spells Known: At each spelldancer level, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which she belonged before adding the prestige class level. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (improved chance of turning or destroying undead, metamagic or item creation feats, and so on). If the character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a spelldancer, the player must decide to which class to add each spelldancer level for the purpose of determining spells per day when she adds the new level. p. 38, Enthralling Dance: Text refers to "vocal component"should be "verbal component" instead. p. 38, Add this paragraph just above Enthralling Dance: If a spelldancers Constitution modifier decreases so that she has exceeded the number of rounds she could safely spelldance, she must immediately make a successful Fortitude save for every round of excess spelldancing; each failure deals the above penalties. p. 3940, Spellfire prestige class: Increased Storage (first paragraph): "However, spellfire energy levels in excess of the channeler's Constitution score is dangerous, ..." should be storing spellfire energy levels... is dangerous" instead. Rapid Blast: Replace standard action with full-round action. At 4th level, the spellfire channeler can release two blasts or spellfire as a full-round action. This increases to three blasts per full-round action at 8th level. Crown of Fire: "...automatically destroys all nonmagical weapons that strike her (after they deal damage, if any)." pg 40, Drain Permanent Item: Change that paragraph to: Drain Permanent Item (Sp): The channeler can drain power from permanent magic items by touch as a standard action. If the item is held or worn, the channeler must make a melee touch attack to touch it, which provokes an attack of opportunity from the defender. The channeler must make a level check (1d20+class level) against a DC of 11 + the caster level of the item to drain it. A success means the item's properties are suppressed (as if affected by dispel magic) for 24 hours and the channeler gains spellfire energy levels equal to half the item's caster level. p. 41, Enhanced Spell Area: Technical nitpicking: the spell's area doesn't increase by 50% or 100%, its radius does. p. 41, War wizard: Replace Spells per Day with Spells per Day/Spells Known p. 43, Mystic Maelstroms, very top of the page: Undead are immune to morale effects. Strike undead from list Fey Mounds, second column, first paragraph: "Fey mounds detect as magic or strong power..." the or should be of. Boomshroom Patches, trap stat block: Reflex save DC should be 13 p. 44, Doom Pits, trap stat block: appropriate save (by spell) negates (see below) Add DCs: Sleep (DC 11)

5th-Level Sorcerer and Wizard Spells, Abjuration: Dimensional Lock is listed here. In the text (page 89), it's listed as Clr 8, Sor/Wiz 8. It should be just Sor/Wiz 5. Change page 89. p. 77, Amplify spell: Change casting time to "1 action" Change Duration to "1 minute/level" p. 80, Add the following line to the end of the battletide spell: "The partial action granted by this spell does not stack with the partial action granted by a haste effect." p. 80, REWRITTEN Ball Lightning spell (replace old text): Ball Lightning Evocation [Electricity] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./levels) Effect: One lightning ball 2/levels Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Reflex half Spell Resistance: Yes You create one 3-foot-diameter ball of concentrated electricity per 2 levels (maximum 15 balls) that shed light as candles and move under your control. A ball of lightning deals 2d6 points of electricity damage to anything it touches, including creatures that attack it or move through it. When you create the balls of lightning, you mentally program them to move as you desire, even around corners. Once programmed, a ball's orders cannot be changed. A ball can move up to 100 feet per round and flies with perfect maneuverability. When a lightning ball strikes a creature, the ball stops and remains in place for the remainder of the spell's duration. A ball dissipates if the distance between you and it exceeds the spell's range. A ball can only "see" under the available light conditions (including the light the ball itself sheds). For example, you could program one lightning ball to follow the left wall of a corridor and strike the first creature it "sees," another to follow the right wall and do the same, and the remainder to follow 5 feet behind you in a semicircle. The first two lightning balls would turn corners to remain following the walls, even if this took them out of your line of sight, and strike the first creature they "see," which would cancel their program and leave them in their target's square. Directing the balls is a free action on the round the spell is cast and a move-equivalent action on any other round. A creature struck by a lightning ball or that touches one with natural or melee weapons gets a Reflex saving throw for half damage. Damage from multiple balls resting in the same square stacks. A creature struck by multiple balls of lightning in a round (or entering a square with multiple lightning balls) gets a saving throw for each. A creature with SR makes separate SR checks against each lightning ball, with success meaning that ball cannot harm the creature. Material Component: A handful of copper and iron pellets. p. 82, Blindsight spell: "This spell grants the Blindsight feat." Blindsight isn't a feat, it's a special quality. p. 83: In the camouflage spell: Change "competence bonus" to "circumstance bonus" p. 83, Brilliant Aura spell: Add [Light] after Transmutation in the header. Cast in Stone: Change range to close and target to you. p. 84, Cloudburst spell: Strike (Water) p. 86, Crawling Darkness spell: Change target to You Curse of Ill Fortune spell: Delete the word enhancement p. 89, Dhulark's Glasstrike has two ranges: Delete Range: 60 ft. p. 89, Dimensional Lock: Change to Clr 5, Sor/Wiz 5

The target remains conscious at 1 to 9 hit points and can take a partial action each round when in that state. This variant of the spell lasts 1 minute/level.
