I want to ask a question about Aoth that troubles me. (By the way this is my first message on candlekeep! Ive been following you guys for years but now I'm one of you!) Here is the question. Ive read the Haunted Lands trilogy. Couldn't begin to Brotherhood of Griffin because I cant find the Spectral Blaze anywhere! In the very begining of Unclean, Aoth takes a ride with Brightwing to search for the Sunrise Mountians. Then they are attacked by undead skin kites and Aoth cast a spell to make Brightwing faster -probably Expeditious Retreat or Haste- But as I recall there are no such spells on Warmage Spell list. And with advanced learning, a warmage can add only evocation spells to his spell list. So what is your opinion?
Personally, I wonder if Aoth was even considered a warmage in 3.5. I don't think it was until he relearned magic that he changed. I would have figured him for a standard wizard (evocation specialist) with some levels in eldritch knight and possibly spellsword (and personally, would have had him in a prestige class revolving around the Thayan Griffin Legionnaires).
Yes probably! If I remember correctly, Aoth says that he is a battlemage - I think warmage supplement has been added later to the trilogy.
And anyone can help me finding Spectral Blaze - pm pls!- Because I cannot buy e-book -kindle- versions, it is illegal in Turkey :( (and I want the book on my bookshelf!!
