[QUOTE="DarkKestral, post: 3170943, member: 40100"] The paladin looks pretty good, the sorceror... I'm not sure about. Are you using the Cloistered Cleric as the 'main' Cleric class and banning the druid? Otherwise, with the severe lack of armor/self-buff spells, there's very few ways for the sorceror to keep himself/herself/itself reasonably alive, and if one's going for the 'blaster' archetype, druid becomes the prime choice, and bards will certainly be the buff kings/queens of the arcane world. I'd consider buffing the substitution levels HDs to maybe d6, because otherwise they will be incredibly fragile as-is, and a druids get polymorph lite as a class ability, better HD, no ASF, and most of the spells you listed as taken away, plus most of the blast-y spells. Perhaps instead, 1 of the two listed spells is taken off the class list, at the player's discretion. Another tack might be giving them one set of clerical domain spells from a restricted list of domains, but at the cost of 1 spell school, no spells of which can be from the banned school. I dunno how it would balance, though. [/QUOTE]
