[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 4055320, member: 2804"] My theory is that there will be the potential for 30 levels of spells, I just don't think the first PHB will fill all those blanks. I think there will also be a mix of at will, per encounter, and per day spells at each spell level. I also think that access to a given spell level will map directly to character level. For example, a 1st level wizard will have access to at will, per encounter, and per day powers from the level 1 spell list. Per Day level 1 spells will be more powerful then at will level 1 spells. As a wizard levels up they gain access to the spells in the spell level that equals their character level. They also probably have a preset progression that is probably independent of class that determines how many at will, per encounter, and per day slots they have available. I suspect that choosing a class in 4e really just determines what class list you get to choose your powers from when you level up (with a bonus of one half your level in your other classes to help determine what spell/power level you can access ala initiator level from Bo9S). Class will also determine hitpoints, and perhaps provide a one-time flat bonus to certain Defenses like in SW Saga. Since I doubt that WotC will provide at will, per encounter, and per day powers/spells for 30 levels, I suspect that filling in those blanks will be a perfect thing for a splat book. [/QUOTE]
