[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 1872764, member: 4134"] I thought of something like that myself. My idea was to make the specialist wizards like the psion disciplines. There are a lot of "sor/wiz" spells, and then, there's a small list of spells per school that's only for specialist wizards. Create undead and the like is for necromancers only, charm and dominate monster is for enchanters, evokers are the only ones who get chain lightning and delayed blast fireball, and so on. Of course, this would make it necessary to change the sorcerer as well, but that's the case, anyway. Maybe some of the spells would be "evoker/sorcerer" or something, or the sorcerer would get his very own spell list (IMO the warmage is a good specialist sorcerer). I have the feeling that they will make a ninja core class after all. Maybe they will be allowed to use the rokugan ninja, or they do something else, like they did a cw version of the samurai (and lets hope that the Complete Adventurer ninja won't suck) He doesn't lose flavour all of a sudden just because those spells are available to other classes. And I'm not saying that all those wu jen spells should be on the sor/wiz list. Some are sor/wiz spells, others are for druids. And then there are a couple that are for clerics, paladins, rangers. The wu jen would keep his flavour: The peculiar selection of elements he has, the mix of wizard and druid spells, the secrets/taboos. OK, some of the spells don't really fit the PHB classes, but a lot of them do. Giant Size for example would make a fitting Cleric spell (what with righteous might) and wizards will like the spell, too. As has been said, the spirit subtype is explained in OA. But I'm not sure whether I want them statted out. IMO their status is somewhere between outsiders and deities, as they grant spells to those characters who deal with them (bargain, appease, worship etc depending on the spirit and the character) [/QUOTE]
