[QUOTE="Notmousse, post: 3364930, member: 39739"] Okay, this class just reeks of the moldy limburger, but that aside I'll see what I can do to save it, or at least it's flavor. First the requirements are minor, can be had by 5th with ease, especially if you plan on giving away Collegiate Wizard. As a GM I generally dislike strong PrCs that can be had so easily. I'd change the requirements to be Know Arcana and Spellcraft 8, Spell Focus (any three), and Forge Ring. Still able to qualify at 5th level, but doesn't require the free feat. School Ring is proof of one's affiliation with a college of wizardry, given to graduates, staff, and fellows of a wizard's college. The progressions will be B B B G just like the original, D4 HD, 2 + Int skillpoints, I'll even keep it full caster. The real problem comes in that the PrC gives full caster and then roughly 5 feats worth of abilities on top of it. First thing is to nix the Improved Saves ability, it's just silly to have a +1 enhancement bonus to a save in certain circumstances. Second we revamp Spell Storing. Forge ring comes into play here as you create a specialized version of a ring of spell storing (or even two if you can manage it). It improves at 10th level as a 'capstone ability'. Collediate Wizard Requirements: Skills: Knowledge: Arcana, and Spellcraft 8 ranks Feats: Spell Focus (any 3), Forge Ring. Spells: Ability to prepare 3rd level wizard spells Special: School Ring Level Bab Fort Ref Will Special Spellcasting 1st +0 +0 +0 +2 Spell storing +1 level of wizard 2nd +1 +0 +0 +3 +1 level of wizard 3rd +1 +1 +1 +3 +1 level of wizard 4th +2 +1 +1 +4 +1 level of wizard 5th +2 +1 +1 +4 Spell Focus +1 level of wizard 6th +3 +2 +2 +5 +1 level of wizard 7th +3 +2 +2 +5 +1 level of wizard 8th +4 +2 +2 +6 +1 level of wizard 9th +4 +3 +3 +6 +1 level of wizard 10th +5 +3 +3 +7 Improved Spell Storing +1 level of wizard Spell Storing: You create a specialized ring of spell storing. It may only be used by you, takes up a ring slot, and can be improved as you level in the PrC. You may store any spell(s) for which you have the appropriate Spell Focus feat and equal no more than your PrC level by casting them into the ring. You enhance your School Ring for this purpose, which costs 25xp per PrC level. 0 level spells count as one half level for storing (much like in the rest of the game). At 5th level you gain Spell Focus (any). Improved Spell Storing: You may store any spell you know into your School Ring at 2 times it's normal spell level if you do not have the appropriate Spell Focus feat. [/QUOTE]
