Just for your reference going forward, your posting style throughout this thread has been so toxic that this will be the last time I ever respond to you. I just wanted to make sure you know why you are being ignored.

No, the Wizard companion definitely feels very useful in the game, but most of the companions do. He’s good but other companions have their own strengths that he doesn’t have. I’ve been rotating him in and out, periodically, like all the others.

What’s funny about this is that an extremely popular video game, Baldur’s Gate 3, did implement it. It works great.

I like it. You have other full caster classes with full knowledge of a big spell list, who can have up to ten spells always prepared on top of the usual roster of prepared spells. Letting wizards swap out prepared spells doesn’t break the game, compared to that, and actually makes the spellbook...

The wizard class. Wizards have always been powerful in D&D, but designers have usually missed out on the fun factor. Academic magic is a fun concept! There’s a lot you can do with it. One of the most popular IPs in the world is based on it, for crying out loud. There’s no reason the other...

I never cared about the whole “it makes the Wizard worse by comparison” thing. The game is unbalanced, always will be. It isn’t a competitive game, so I don’t care. I’m glad Spell Versatility got cut because it was thematically stupid and totally unnecessary. I‘m fine with clerics having...

Yes indeed. Reading this thread, I’ve been wondering if this whole argument might turn out to be based on a faulty premise, that wizards don’t also get something that increases their versatility.

It seems a lot of people think Favored Soul will be the other sorcerer. I’m not sure if it will or won’t but, if it is, I hope the wizard tradition is something other than Theurgy. I don’t think the game really needs two different expressions of divine mage, even spread across two classes.

Mostly satisfied. The only thing the class needs to really shine is (a lot) more ritual spells. The ability to cast ritual spells out of the spell book without preparing them seems like it should be a major feature of the academic magician class, but it ends up being a minor sideline because the...

Hello, I'm looking for an RPG group in Portland, OR. I'm 38 years old, chill, open-minded and just looking to have fun playing the games I enjoy! I've been a player and Dungeon Master for 30 years, and I'm looking for a game in the fantasy, horror or superheroes genres. I'm a teacher who wakes...

I'm dissatisfied with the class as written, but two (fairly significant) tweaks get it where I want it. First, after you transform into a different form, whether willingly or unwillingly, you cannot transform again for one minute. This is mostly to avoid unkillable level 20 shenanigans...

I'm mostly satisfied. The biggest change I want for clerics has to do with the spell list. There should be a very small number of common cleric spells, mainly just heals and a couple core buffs like Bless. The rest of the spells should vary by domain. This would help clerics of different gods to...

In terms of playability and power level, the bard is fine. Maybe slightly high on the power curve, but whatever, I don't actually care about that. Conceptually, I hate the bard as a full caster. That's never been what it did in previous versions, and it isn't what I would ever expect from a...

I'd love to know everything about the cleric Arcana domain. Failing that, I'd love to know anything you would care to share about it.

Is there any chance of a Diamond Throne setting book for Cypher System? I see you are not much for converting AU to 5e, but it is a fabulous setting and it would be great in your current system.
