I guess as a DM with a long running world that has transcended D&D versions over the years (and even rule systems from time to time) I am bothered by the delay because winging this much stuff is a bit of a problem. Hopefully 4e contains these options sooner rather than later. Well this will only matter if I choose 4e as my ruleset of choice...we'll see.My real gripe would be eliminating nearly entirely a wizard's ability to use necromancy, illusion, enchantment, etc. IMO a sensible system would be for the wizard in the PHB1 to be referred to as a battlemage while at the same time allowing enchanters, illusionists, necromancers and others to be different flavors of wizard and not completely different classes with very different assumptions. This way the wizards can be differentiated while at the same time allowing for magical specialities.Weird....seems like the old schools of magic thing doesn't it. Looking back I think the old schools of magic are looking better and better. They certainly had an in game logic to them.Wyrmshadows</blockquote>
