[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9307239, member: 29398"] It's also a good way of balancing caster classes against each other, if they get the same spells but some are simply better at certain spells than others. In my game, for example, there's three types of Clerics: Normal, Nature, and War. They all get [I]Cure Light Wounds[/I] but each roll a different die when casting one because Natures are really good at healing and Wars suck at it (Normals are the bog-standard Cleric). The flip side is that combat-oriented spells (e.g. Prayer) cast by War Clerics are always more effective than if cast by other Cleric types. Clerics and Mages both get [I]Detect Magic[/I], but the Clerical version only gives 'yes' or 'no' while the Mage version gives relative strength (and would give school if I used such). I also have some caster classes get the same spells at different levels than others. For example Illusionists get most illusion-based spells at lower level than do standard Mages, because illusions are what they do. Combining the write-ups for the same spell into one is fine but you can still distinguish between classes within those write-ups. [/QUOTE]
