[QUOTE="BobTheNob, post: 5888993, member: 82425"] Yea, Im getting the impression alot of people agree with your perception more than mine. I acknowledge this. I will however clariffy why I like point 3. My perception of the wizard is that of the opening scene from "Template of elemental evil" (game remake from a couple of years ago...so so game, great opening scene) when all the great wizards of D&D turn up (including Tenser, Melf , Otiluke e.t.c.) and start laying waste to the armies of evil. Fire balls explode, lightning erupts, meteors crash. The wizards are spectacular and destructive. This is how I see the arcanist....he doesnt worhsip a god, he aspires to be one. Then I think of a cleric, casting something like "Create Water" and ask myself "how would a god make that manifest?". Would it be a flash of light with water magically appearing in the sky, or would it be that the cleric looks up and happens to see a trickle of water from a crack in the mountain stone nearby? Im more for the later, the god subtly delivers on the prayer. Its a precept of faith...faith isnt needed where proof of existence is irrefutable. So the god provides in that explainable kind of way. Thats why I like subtle for clerics, its far better suited to the concept of faith being the strength of the cleric. At the same time, it allows the cleric to be something different from the arcanist and the arcanist to have the more spectacular spell set (cause he is the guy who gave up everything for the better spell list).
