[QUOTE="erf_beto, post: 4652177, member: 47533"] I had a more polished post yesterday, but my bad conection ate it. >_< Anyway... How about just giving this mage the ability to multiclass into any number or Arcane classes. It's almost like the bard can do. But, if multiclassing causes too many problems when it comes to paragon paths and whatever, maybe just a feature (Spell Researcher?) that allows wizards to buy a special kind of power feats that add only a couple of daily/utility spells to their spellbook from other classes in a case by case scenario - to prevent overpowered combinations and to add flavor and theme to the feat (like Fey trickery, Infernal curses, Healing artifices, Fireblade swordmagic, etc). If there's one feat per tier, and they add one utility and one daily for every level in that tier, that would add a total of 6 spells (levels 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10 for the heroic tier). Is that too much for a specific power swap feat? Perhaps two feats per tier, or maybe allow only Daily spells. Here's an example. [INDENT]Fey Curses [Spell Research] [Heroic Tier Feat] Pre-req: Cha 13, wizard, spell researcher class feature Benefit: You add the following warlock spells to your wizard spellbook: Curse of the Dark Dream, Crown of Madnnes and Curse of the Black Frost. You may prepare and cast these spells as if they were Wizard spells of the same level. [/INDENT]Perhaps each feat could ask for a pre-req in the same class, so learning epic warlock spells means you have to buy feats for the heroic and paragon warlock spells too, wich makes retraining harder to do. Also, add some feats/features/paths that allow him to use Intelligence instead of the original ability (kinda like Intelligent Blademaster). [/QUOTE]
