PCs could get 1-2 limited abilities, if they wanted them badly enough, at first level.  PCs could cast 2-3 spells per "Scene" if they needed to.Most didn't translate over to "levels" or "minor" and "major" magics ... some of the most interesting spells had very little in the way of rules-based effect.The whole FX system doesn't really translate from Alternity to D20 ... bleh.  I hate that they went back to the Vancian sacred cow.  I'm willing to do it for D&D because, well, that's D&D.  I'd have liked to see something else, here.A PrC doesn't allow access to anything early enough to even INTRODUCE the concept ... "Well, you're a seasoned agent ... look, a book on summoning demons!"  It limits my ability to make workable FX foes, even.So here I am, trying to rework the old system for D20M.--fje</blockquote>
