[QUOTE="drothgery, post: 1051105, member: 360"] That's kind of hard to avoid. The FF spells from the games aren't going to change, the d20 guidelines for how much damage spells should do per level are known, and I think most who are familiar with the FF games will end up with similar lists when looking at the D&D spell list and figure which spells are appropriate. The only thing I did that was a little bit "out there" was adding Storm of Vengeance to the Black spell list at level 9. But there's not a canonical FF extremely high-powered Water or Lightning spell. It wouldn't be hard to add some combat feats to my Red Mage's bonus feat list, though I'd be against giving them medium armor for the same reason that the 3.5 ranger doesn't have it; if they can't use their primary ability (spellcasting) in medium armor, then they're not going to wear medium armor anyway. And I think the only heavily armored FF spellcasters are Paladins (and FFIX dragoons). Hmm... Maybe Ninja Sorcerer and Dragoon Sorcerer PrCs? So Edge is martial-artist base class/Ninja Sorcerer, and Freya is knight/dragoon/dragoon sorcerer (or just a dragoon/dragoon sorcerer, depending on whether dragoon is a base class or a PrC)? If we're going to have spellcasting and non-spellcasting paths for both, they almost have to be done as separate classes; balancing spells and other special abilities gets very difficult quickly.
