[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 6178923, member: 14506"] A listing of caster sub-classes and traditions: Class Mage: Wizard *School specialization Sorcerer *Bloodlines Psion *Focus in different powers Warlock *Pacts with different types of entities Class Cleric: Domain Class Druid: Circle Class Paladin: Oath Class Ranger: Favored enemy Class Bard: College It appears to me that these are not balanced if there is a solid argument for the casters to not have many types crammed into a class it is that the mage is simply a lot more busy than the others. Although, I like the idea of the mage as an encompassing class I also would like to see that same design principle applied across the other classes it does not make sense to do one class of archetypes one way and then others a different way. The cleric for instance could, instead of domains could be priest, monk, druid, archivist, favored soul etc. Then domain a subset of some, circle could be a subset of the druid, etc. For the more gish classes (bard/paladin/ranger). I think something similar could be done with them. [/QUOTE]
