One concern I have is that the new favored class mechanic means that spellcasters are not simply trading bonus feats or powers for a different set of bonuses, but are also giving up 1 hit point or skill rank per level. Not intended to denigrate what is in the Pathfinder core rules now, just sharing my thoughts. The Loremaster seems like it may have come up a bit weak; on the one hand, it still benefits from 4 skills ranks a level, but on the other hand, a straight up wizard has more hit points, extra languages are no longer at such a premium, and the extra feat, spell, and save bonuses you can acquire are not much different than what a wizard or sorcerer would gain anyway. Although the sorcerer gets some nice class skills, the divination spell requirement is still pretty difficult for a sorcerer to do. In some ways, it actually works better as a cleric Prestige Class than anything else at this point. From a wizard's standpoint, the whole class could probably be efficiently replaced by a feat that granted some kind of lore/bardic knowledge ability, and some way to get unlimited analyze dweomer. I'm wondering if stripping down the class and melting it into 3 or 5 levels might not have worked.</blockquote>
