[QUOTE="Arrowhawk, post: 5653968, member: 6679551"] No, you're doing it wrong. Any scenario where the spell caster doesn't have access to every and all spells at all times...is house ruling i.e. arbitrarily cheating to nerf the Wizard in his context. You're specifically not allowed to introduce any situation or scenario where the Wizard isn't the most powerful character at all times. Using logic or requiring any consistency in how you treat the characters is also strictly forbidden unless it favors the Wizard. Remember, Spells are "magic" which means that by definition they don't have to obey any internal conistency or logic. Any author for WotC can write a spell to do anything anyone has ever thought of...it's "magic" afterall. Wizards are automatically the most powerful classes because they have unfettered access to "magic" which is master of all possibilities. Wizards have access to all spells...all the time (don't question it, just accept it). But we won't say the spells are unbalanced...we'll just say the Wizard is. Any attempt to limit the Wizards access to any and all spells is a "house rule" thereby giving your players grounds for complaining and walking out on you. This is Internet Logic 101. Resistence is futile. [/QUOTE]
