Not true for 3E rangers and paladins, and barely true for bards (even if you have a high Cha as a first level bard, you can only cast cantrips). So only four and a half of the eleven 3E core classes have basic access to magic.Add the fact that AU has no multi-classing penalties, no distinction between divine & arcane magic, no class-specific spell lists (great selection when you're a ranger, let's face it -- you're going to take entangle) and no dictates about who can take Use Magic Device and I would say spellcasting is generally less restrictive in AU.Is a runethane going to kick a sorceror's butt in a head to head magic duel? No. But he might be able to heal the warmain before the BBEG k-o's him.-Thrommel, who might have let his feelings about bards slip out a little bit there with that 'and a half' comment.</blockquote>
