Althought i found the Spell Of Legend Metropolis, i haven found an ability to turn stone into MDC stone, it isn't a gem Ability either. Is the describtion wrong or was the ability of the Stone Master omitted. (The Pyramids are turned into MDC through construction and the ley line/nexus)

In some cases, you do have MDC stone. However, that isn't because the stone master turned it... that's either because

A) It's a drekload of stone, enough to be effectively MDC
or
B) It was created through magic (such as several Earth Warlock spells), and so was MDC at creation.

I am asking cause two of my players want to play insame dwarven brothers that fled from palladium world to rifts and want to found a village.

One of them wants to play a necromancer, the other an earthwarlock or a stonemaster (preferably a stonemaster) going by the teamname 'Stone and Bone' Brothers. (One is going to call himself Brother Stone, te other Brother Bone). Brother Stone would prefer to play a stonemaster, preferably.

I think about creating an ability for stonemasters to do this, or a spell for an earth warlock.

Has anyone added an ability to an OCC before? Are there any Guidelines for it (I know of the spell creation rules)?

Stonemagic was banned as was Necromancy, that is why he prefers it to a warlock. Usually i don't do this for players, but i kinda like the idea.


Wow, dwarven spellcaster from Palladium. No wonder they fled, all dwarves were to give up the pursuit of magic due to their guilt from the Elf/Dwarf war. If they've ignored the taboo (you did say they were insane), then I'd imagine that every dwarf they came across in the PFRPG dimension would be trying to collect their heads. Given that, Rifts would be the less dangerous of the two dimensions for them. :D

As for spell casting, I've always thought that the Stone Master O.C.C. was excellent, but lacking in spells. I've thought about coming up with more gem spells for them to cast, especially ones that included some Earth Warlock spells. I've also thought that maybe instead of just using gems, they could use other types of stones; such as granite to provide Superhuman Strength or Endurance. Or maybe some additional special O.C.C. abilities at higher levels, like being able to cover themselves in stone (giving them the appearance of a statue or golem) to provide protection and increased strength. I've thought about doing all of this, but it sounds like to much work. :-D
