[QUOTE="Centaur, post: 931144, member: 11822"] I think this is a more than fare method of applying balance and flavour. There are plenty of spells that could easily go either way. As a general rule, if there is a spell that one class has and nobody else does, allow a variant of it (works the same) to be researched and implemented for another class. For example. I see nothing wrong with the 1st level Druid spell of "Bark Skin" becoming a 2nd level arcane spell called "Dragon Scales" or some such. All other details of the spell would be the same, just the level (an maybe the material component) are different. Judge it on a case buy case basis as needed to maintain your campaing flavour. Maybe a wizard can't use healing spells, or maybe he can but they are 2 or 3 levels higher than the clerics. Maybe wizard healing spells use necromatic methods to trasfer HP from a captured enemy to the person being healded, similar to Vampiric touch. As an option (big potential for abuse here) you could allow a sorcerer to select his spells from any of the primary spell caster lists. I think the sorcerer gets a little shafted at times and this could open it up a bit. Imagine a sorcerer who has only healing spells. Or one that has only nature spells from the druid lists. Could make for quite the flavour. [/QUOTE]
