Less spells per day than Wizard?Lower spell levels?Less amount of known spells?To achieve these, consider the spell progression of the Paladin and the Ranger: same amount of spells per day. Because you probably want spellcasting capabilities since 1st level, add cantrips to that table (for example, you could start with 1 cantrip per day, increase by one up to max 4).Then you could make it so that the spell list is made by all spells from Wiz/Sor list, of a single school only (actually, I would suggest 2-3 schools because some are still quite small).Acquisition of spells could be similar to Wizard except at level one, where for example you could say 3+Int cantrips known.This whole spellcasting ability is worth at least the equivalent of 4-5 feats (according to published Paladin and Ranger spell-less variants), so you could consider giving the Arcane Warrior the same Fighter features but only 6-7 bonus combat feats during 20 levels instead of 11.However I would also consider the following modifications:1) the ability to ignore ASF in SOME armors, in exchange for proficiency in all other armors & shieldThis brings a difficult point to balance: if you grant this with LIGHT armor only (gives up Medium/Heavy/Shields prof) it might hurt the character concept a bit, since you'll suddenly be a lightly armor warrior... But if you allow this with MEDIUM armors too, then it's quite too good, and IMHO it is NOT balanced by giving up only Heavy & Shield. At least I'd give up 2 more bonus feats.2) Add Knowledge(Arcana) and Spellcraft to class skills. Leave the others if you wish, but don't increase skill points.</blockquote>
