[QUOTE="jsaving, post: 8022624, member: 16726"] I can understand why a non-caster would love being able to neutralize power sources to which she lacks access. What I don't see is why that is a viable or desirable class to create. If magic is prevalent throughout the campaign, then the class is very likely to be OP and will also make other peoples' magic-using characters less fun to play, harming the overall dynamic around the gaming table. But if magic is not prevalent, then you'll end up in a ranger-favored-enemy type situation where the character is only occasionally useful while mostly being underpowered. I wonder if you might instead consider a class along the likes of GW's mesmer which gains power-ups from interrupting actions. Or if you do specifically want a character that targets magic-users you could consider a variant abjurer, who is so good at dispelling effects that she can actually redirect the spell's energy to recharge her spell slots or even magically blast her foes.
