None of the PSM quests are timed (as far as I can tell), including the ones that should be.

One good way to reduce overlap would be to have the "joining" take place in Teos' initial dialog with the player. All of the original PS quests and any extra PSM quests would then wait for the player's return to the sphere, while the new Cowled quests took place outside. Some of the original PS quests have a time component, but it's an issue of coming back to your Aprenti too soon rather than too late.

I thought of that but there is a MOD out at the moment called Planar Sphere MOD and in that you sort of join the Cowled Wizards through Teos so I do not wan't to look like we are copying or anything.

I though the MOD could be a seperate stronghold so like others the planar sphere will not be available because lets face it, the Bhaalspawn is being used by the Cowled Wizards.

That's the mod BobTokyo and I had been referring too. PSM = PlanarSphereMod.

I'd discourage placing too much emphasis on compatibility with PSM. My recommendation would be to assimilate (and improve) the better parts of PSM (the Cowled Wizards making more extensive use of the stronghold, and so on) and scrap the worse bits. This would render it incompatible with the original version, obviously, but at little great loss.

Because quite honestly, Melanthium is THE worst thing I've seen in any mod. Ever.

Oddly enough, as a strong supporter of the PSM, I mostly agree with this. Either that or re-write M's story line.

I think it would be better if the Perils of Wisdom stayed seperate to the planar sphere.

Lots of things would be for the better. But look at this palce, modding anyways.

Incidently, expect that mod to get a major overhaul in the next 3-4 months.
