And it worked, because I went with him trough his spell casting choices and what his character could do ... like, if you have a more or less experienced DM or Player helping the newbie to create a character, most classes a not hard to grasp.I would imagine, a "simplified" Spellcaster is more akin to a Superhero. Shooting energy blasts from your hands instead of casting spells, creating energy shields, maybe flying ... like a super condensed set of abilities that are magical instead of picking 20+ spells out of a list of 200 spells. Because thats what a Super Hero is: A condesed set of two to four magical (supernatural) abilities. Super heroes with a bigger set of abilities always end up as someting that looks more like a wizard.Like - look at the Teen Titans. Robin ... okay, that one is a rogue.Starfire: Can shoot Energy "Starbolts" (Firebolt? with Force-Energy), can Fly, release all the energy at once (Fireball) ...Cyborg is more akin to an Artificer/Warforged.Beast Boy is an at-will Wildshaper.And then there is raven. A literal Wizard.A simple Spellcaster would be more akin to Starfire - or Cyclops or any of the other Superheroes whos main abilitiy it is to just shoot some kind of energy/fire/elemental thingy at their enemies.</blockquote>
