[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 3944070, member: 32164"] Personally, I regard this as trivially easy, as should any advanced DM. The built-in flavor isn't for us though. It's for the starting DM who may not have any idea what he wants his campaign to look like. By tying certain wizard feats and powers to specific "traditions," you're saying to the new person "some wizard abilities have to be taught." A simple sidebar that says: "Why Golden Wyvern?" might go a long way. Some kind of tradition dedicated to shaping spells makes sense. That is [i]especially[/i] important if you're proceeding with the assumption that wizard's abilities are learned rather than inherent. You're making the beginning DM give some thought to the world beyond the PCs. He has to either incorporate the Golden Wyvern Discipline in his campaign, or replace it. Either way, he can't choose not to get involved in the setting's flavor. IMO, that's a good thing. But that's just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
