[QUOTE="Jade Solstar, post: 1040217, member: 13452"] Though i do enjoy playing D&D I like many many people who have posted on here and other websites have stated that the cast and forget magic system seems lacking in the magic department not to mention to cast in armor is bad for mages but ok for clerics...and ok for bards now if its light armor...huh ? as this is my first thread post i hope i am going about this correctly, if not someone please let me know... an idea ive had and incorporated withother info ive seen online would be the following: sorceror: would be able to choose from any spell list for their spells..i think this would help even the class out with other spellcasting classes wizard: would still scribe spells ina spellbook to keep track of what spells they know but would be gain special abilities when they choose to specialize in a certain magic (summoning, etc..) the wizard would also be able to cast spells "on the fly" as a sorceror does but is still limited to his selection of spells as far as the cleric goes i think each god in the campaigbn should have a specific themes cleric..the god of magic would most definetly have different clerics than the god of war druids should also be spontaneous casters but the spontaneous casting of summon natures ally could be better used for a more "nature magic" ability IMO well their it is let me know what you think or any ideas [/QUOTE]
