At its heart, illusionism is the art of deception, be it benign or malicious in nature. It alters another's perceptions and tricks their senses. Those affected by illusions see, hear, smell, taste and feel things that are not there. Inside you will find: Illusionism - An Overview: A summary of the different areas of interest and concentration for illusionists. Illusionist Paths: Paths of concentration for specialist illusionists, from orthodox to unorthodox to unaligned, each approach can have a potent effect upon your character. Orthodox Illusionism: Orthodox illusionists are interested in the artistic aspect of illusions and seek to create an artful fiction through their figments, glamours, patterns and phantasms. Their skills, feats and spells are detailed in depth. Unorthodox Illusionism: Unorthodox illusionists deal more with the theory of what comprises an illusion than the practical, even so their spells, feats and skills mean they are seldom without a trick up their sleeves. Unaligned Illusionists: Unaligned illusionists pick and choose what they wish to learn from either school of theory and leave the rest. This has its own advantages and disadvantages, along with spells and feats that allow them to add to their powers. Lords of Illusion: To master the arts of illusionism is to hold sway over perception and, in a way, reality itself. The five prestige classes presented here allow players to master the smoke and mirror of illusionism. Rose Coloured Glasses: A collection of magic items, particularly suited to being used by illusionists. |
