Chapter 2: Creating New Schools

The Player's Handbook lists eight different greater schools of magic, but more are possible. Additional schools can expand a player's options, add color to the campaign, and allow the DM to put his own mark on the game. Designing new magic schools is one of the DM's toughest jobs, but it can also be one of the most rewarding.

This chapter presents a step-by-step procedure for creating schools of magic from scratch. We'll demonstrate the process by creating a brand new school right before your eyes the school of metamorphics.

At the end of this book is a blank planning sheet. This may be copied to help you design your own new schools
