[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 3780508, member: 31734"] I don't agree it's inconsistent. An alignment restriction is an overarching limitation. It's not class-specific. Can you be a specialist, single-classed cleric? No. However, you can be any alignment of a wizard, just like a cleric. So, there's clear precedence that usage of any terms in the context of the rules we are discussing may be slightly different. Additionally, a looser interpretation like you suggest in order to make things consistent cannot conflict with itself. When I suggest that a LG cleric/wizard cannot even cast [Evil] or [Chaotic] wizard spells, that is entirely conflict-free. However, when you suggest that the same character obtains 1 more spell per spell level, we're in a world of confusion when the max spell level for the wizard class > cleric. Can a 3rd specialist wizard / 1st level cleric prepare a specialist cleric 2nd-level spell? Doesn't this negate your assertion by (straw) example? The spontaneous conversion of clerical spells is a slightly better argument. Howevever, it suffers from the fact that the type of conversion is tied into how the cleric turns or rebukes. I think the geomancer class, should you allow it, would 'prove' that you cannot do it (thus negating your point), but I do not have the class at hand to say that for sure, nor would I really want to hang my hat on it. I think that the relation to turning is sufficient. [/QUOTE]
