When you say "nerfing higher level spells," do you up to 5th level like I have Cynosure currently built or spells up to 9th level? 9th level spells like Wish wouldn't be fixed. Spells like Animate Objects wouldn't either as written: one huge object could still be targeted. Spells like Geas...

Quick answers... Yes levels 4-8 a level 4 became level 9 a level 8 lost XP back down to beginning of level 8 & received a loyal NPC a level 4 received a magic item

That's very similar to what I had in mind. Here's my WIP single-spell caster: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?549534-Single-spell-Caster-amp-a-Feat-based-Class

Arcane Recovery was something I added, took out, then added again. Something got lost in the balancing so I've taken it out again. I usually like the idea of subclasses. There's something there but will take some time to think through what to leave in a base class and then how to work and...

I hadn't seen your Spellsoul. Cynosure had its origin in an older thread brainstorming additional class ideas which mentioned single-spellcaster (as derived from With a Single Spell). The potency for feats for a Protean isn't supposed to be as strong as class features such as Extra Attack...

Agreed, this is a difficult balancing act. And, yes, Animate Objects is an obstacle I am still working on. The singular spell can be cast more often but at the cost of any other spells, including cantrips. The Cynosure lacks almost all variety/utility. So if you are talking balance, you'd need...

I really wanted to find a way to have a first level spell increase organically level by level, either by making specific improvements upon it or by jumping it to a related spell of the next higher level. But, the task of specifically improving a spell likely would be too much of a burden to...

I enjoyed the kensei from the original Oriental Adventures where he focused on a single weapon, but in that iteration the kensei could only gain 1/2 the XP from fighting with other weapons. I thought limiting proficiency a better option. I enjoy the plus/minus that the power/restriction gives...

The reason I changed from the standard archetype and had it start at 1st level was because of the single-weapon focus (and I used the original Oriental Adventures kensei as a starting point). I thought the flavor of the class would warrant that this character wouldn't bother with other types of...

Thanks Yeah. We don't multi-class in our games so I hardly consider that. These would be like the UA stuff - untested with multi-classing. I'll make that explicit. I never noticed that; I had Dex and Int at first anyway. I moved it from 2nd level to 6th. Good catch. I had corrected that...

I had been working on a single-spell caster or Cynosure (http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/SyHz8NGgW). The hardest part was deciding what level(s) of spell he could choose. 1st level spells would be worthless by 20th level and a Wish spell can't be easily nerved for a 1st level caster...
