[QUOTE="-Eä-, post: 62738, member: 471"] Greetings again! For a change, I will adapt to the consensus of quoting what I'm commenting on first. Perhaps it will be easier if I do so. Coming with some suggestions here: In that case, I understand what it does. Perhaps describing it with fewer words would increase the readability? I didn't get the intent the first time I read it, but that may be because of the formatting, though. I'm sorry: I wasn't aware of that... Remember, 3 of your abilities are dependent on charisma for number of uses. If this is a sorcerer only class, fine, but then you should put in [I]Must be able to cast spells spontaneously[/I] in the requirements. Perhaps going for a non-spellcasting score would be the way (con or wis)? Or perhaps basing the number of uses on the level of the [B]Calastian Battlemage[/B]? I take it that this is Scarred Lands or something like that? I don't know much about the setting (except from what I have read in [B]Relics and Rituals[/B]). Perhaps the suggestions above might work. If sorcerers are more feared, then perhaps this is the counter-offensive of the wizards? [B]Mainly for show, but some times a wizard CAN run out of spells.[/B] Two things I have to say to this: [B]1.[/B] Many wizards usually take their next highest score in dexterity to get higher AC, this would prevent them from valueing dexteruty as much, and perhaps be something more of a tank, having a great constitution. [B]2.[/B] A wizard may cast plenty of Extended protection spells on himself at the beginning of the day, and more later. The point being that they can cast them and that they often last for a long time. Actually, removing this ability may make the PrC more wizardish. A wizard can have all protection spells where a sorcerer will have to choose some... Perhaps a way of compensating? Marvellous (-; Well, sometimes they just pop out of my head, like popcorn! Actually, I think that my next villain will use some of the concepts within this class. A rogue wizard that have used the secrests of the battlemages for his own troupe of spellcasters, or something like that... Perhaps a cliché, but hey, I can't help it but like them once in a while (-; [/QUOTE]
