May as well just be a Gestalt Druid/Wizard.Sort of feels like the bardic component is just thrown in to keep the flavor of Fochlucan Lyricist. Remove companion/familiar progression, they don't really serve a purpose except to make the class even stronger (which is not necessary). They don't fit into the idea of a sage, and they don't fit into the idea of a collegiate bard. With the druid/bard magic combination all you're doing is getting rid of spells per day (and not even that many). The class is MAD, which means that CHA modifier is just a detriment, but you'll get your WIS bonus in spells and most of the good Bard spells are buffs anyway. No downside, because you have an entire other spell list and spells/day from a Wizard to do the rest of your stuff.4 skills/lv also does not fit the idea of a sage.As a DM, I'd throw the class out the window.As a player, I'd rarely pick something else if I wanted dual casting progression.</blockquote>
