[QUOTE="SimonMoon5, post: 624607, member: 5821"] Right, Education is no longer a prereq. I think the reason it was removed is that there is almost no reason for a wizard to take Education; they're educated enough already. :) Furthermore, *every* wizard or sorcerer with a familiar has Alertness for free. So, there's only one real feat prereq, and that's Extend Spell. And, the only skills that most wizards won't already have are the 4 ranks in Scry and 2 in Sense Motive... oh, and some ranks in Knowledge (local). No big deal there. And while the class might be better than a straight wizard... well, most wizard prestige classes are. Compared to other prestige classes, it's not that exciting. I mean, really, Skill Focus? Who gets excited about getting Skill Focus for free? Well, okay, my wizard character is planning to take one level of Harper Mage so that he can get a Skill Focus (a knowledge skill) so that he can become eligible to be a Loremaster; then after one level of Loremaster, he'll go back and take another level of Harper Mage for Skill Focus (Spellcraft) to help him qualify for Archmage. But, otherwise, Skill Focus is not too exciting. [/QUOTE]
