[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6935970, member: 15700"] I'm confused. It's not an either/or. The EK doesn't choose either all combat spells, or no combat spells. The EK can learn spells from any wizard school at level 3, 8, 14, and 20, out of a total of 13 known spells by level 20. So that's one of each level from any school. That means, it's entirely reasonable for an EK to have spells like find familiar, invisibility, gaseous form, and stone shape while still having 9 combat related spells at his or her disposal. And that's not even counting at will cantrips. So I'm confused on your basic premise, that the EK needs extra combat function to keep up with the BM when the EK has WAY more utility than the BM and that's something that needs to be considered when balancing classes because the entire game isn't played in combat. And I'm double confused why you're saying the EK doesn't have all this extra utility when it clearly does, and does so without giving up hardly any ability to cast combat magic. [/QUOTE]
