[QUOTE="Sound of Azure, post: 2876373, member: 40749"] Brother richard Indeed, you would be correct! This idea is not unique (and is based on said mechanic)... very astute! :) That being said.... I thought it was a very interesting mechanic... the idea of a caster whose familiar is the basis for their spellcasting. This mechanic ensures that the caster's familiar is never forgotten... because they are integral to their power. The class is also made this way because of the setting they will inhabit in my new campaign (which is an oriental setting). I'm getting a lot of help here on ENWorld in getting ideas for change for my ideas. Do you have some ideas on how to make it more unique? I hope you'll return and help me adjust the class. Vargo You'd be correct. No-one ever said it's easy to extract power from the spirit realm! ;) The character in question would also have a +1 bonus due to their class level, and another +2 if it's one of their arcane spells known. This class does have a lot of freedom to choose spells. But they do have a weakness if unprepared (especially at low levels). If our 1st level Kiau Ainu didn't have much time, he'd be best sticking with his spells known... they only take a few rounds to be retrieved. Your math is correct for spells unknown. That's one of the drawbacks of trying to use spells outside of the repertoire. It's worse for divine spells. You can have as many spells retrieved as you want. Anyhow, I'm open to suggestion for any alterations you might like to make. It is, after all, the reason I posted it up! :) [/QUOTE]
