[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 435753, member: 3051"] First look: BAB, saves, and HP are the same as a Wizard. Skill points: drop to 4+INT. You didn't provide a reason to have more, you have a really small class list anyway, and the base class only gives 2+INT. Skills: add Concentration. Requirements: looks a lot like Loremaster, except easier to get. Alignment: Why NOT Lawful? It helps if you explain this part. I guess the big question is, why would you want it? You get less followers. You gain 4 metamagic Feats, but you'll already have 2 from the prerequisites, so now you have 6. Frankly I usually run out of ones I really want after the first three. You sacrifice THREE levels of spellcasting ability, which is not something most Wizards lose lightly. Your cohort gains free metamagic Feats though; I'd rather be him, since he doesn't lose anything. How to compensate? If you want this guy to be the master of metamagic, he needs something besides just more Feats. An increased ability to use them? (letting you apply them instantaneously X times per day to one of your prepared spells IF you've left an open spot at the correct level, maybe). Also, the Cohort should gain more than just a few metamagic Feats. For example, if you're giving the -10 to followers on the Leadership table, give +10 to Cohort. (This practically guarantees that your cohort will be one level below you) I'll have to think about this a bit more. [/QUOTE]
