[QUOTE="officeronin, post: 814580, member: 8483"] Comparing this to the Arcanist (Mongoose's Big Book 'O PrCs, whatever it's called), which was a similar idea, this is far more potent. I'd add a few restrictions: 1. Since Druids would get screwed with this PrC (by losing wildshape), I'd just bar them by requiring that the divine caster have the magic domain. This tones down the cleric (since the benefits of the magic domain disappear when you are also a sor/wiz), and it's also flavor. I suppose you could just require either Magic domain or wildshape... 2. I'd add a throw-away feat selection -- like Skill Focus: Craft -- Bookbinding. You know -- something to make the player feel the pain of trying to qualify. At higher levels, you are taking hits due to your lowered caster level. Is this enough? If not, you could "break convention" by saying that, in this case, the rise in wizard caster level does not give the "two free spells" benefit -- the association of the Mystics would offer them, but the PC still has to pay for their writing. I'd still take the PrC, and it would alleviate some of the "uber-ness". OfficeRonin [/QUOTE]
