[QUOTE="The Shadow, post: 6009043, member: 16760"] ...This actually makes a lot of sense. I mean, the EN World forums are in general a more sensible place to be than, say, the WotC forums, but even here we've had a certain amount of hyperventilating. This makes good sense to me also, though as always the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Wait, what? Are you saying that domains have changed already since the last playtest packet? Because in playtest 2, domains do *not* restrict access to spells at all. If you're saying that domains *will* start restricting access to spells, along the lines of 2e spheres (though no doubt with the Next "prepared-spontaneous" mechanic) you will make me a very happy man. If you're also saying that you suspect that wizard traditions will also restrict access to spells, you will make me even happier! Though for wizards, perhaps a shade less so. I don't see any reason why most wizards couldn't cast simple illusions; I just think that the more fancy illusion spells should be the province of specialists. Hm, if all wizards are going to have a tradition, and traditions restrict spells, that means the end of the generalist wizard. And I, for one, shall not shed a tear at his passing. [/QUOTE]
