1.8 Healer/Druid Changes

[Chris Lynch]

Rules question here concerning the new Rules Supplement.

Concerning the new Healer/Druid specialty restriction, are the earth caster exceptions in the supplement IN ADDITON to the rulebook or INSTEAD OF the rulebook?  Im just throwing it out there that I like the way the rulebook has bullet listed and clarified how to play a druid or a healer better than they have before. 

The reason I ask is because the short part in the supplement about specialty columns is rather non-specific.  It doesnt mention anytihng about dealing with undead, necromantic items, etc.  I get that it is implied that a healer would probably not do that anyway, but as in any game if it isnt directly stated then its confusing.

The supplement replaces the list in the rulebook. It's meant to be a little vague, since the mechanisms of losing access to specialty spells (or fighter subclass abilities) are handled in-play in Shadowmoor.

Players should read the list in the rulebook, however, because it is a list of behaviors that will indeed contribute to, if not be used entirely, as reasons some in-play power can and will remove your PC's spell list for. (That, by the way, was a really awkward sentence. I apologize.)

I'm not sure if an apology can make up for ending a sentence with a preposition.  That's just WRONG. 

[keith]

That's the kind of error up with which I will not put.

Better?

My husband needs to be beaten with the grammar stick.

Wow, that leads to a great idea for a monster.
