[QUOTE="TheOneGargoyle, post: 8361022, member: 6924207"] I love that you guys are going all-in on spell lists ! So awesome :-) Tinker, loving your work here. Some observations/feedback/questions: [LIST] [*]Overall - 100% agree also make avail to Wiz list. [*]Arcane Lance - love the idea of casting as a bonus action if they take the Dash action. Would rather see it doing a different type of dmg to Booming Blade though, perhaps Force dmg instead ? Is there any particular reason you have it reduce their speed ? How about instead we have it knock them back 10' ? On a nomenclature side, naming it after a lance but it's only 10ft range could be a little confusing, perhaps Arcane Strike, Force Shock, or something like that ? [*]Blazing Pursuit - If I understand what you're going for here, (I think you intend this to be able to swap it to new targets?) you might need something explicit like "On subsequent turns you may place the blazing marks on a new target as a bonus action, any previous marks fade" or something ? Fascinating idea about the 4th+ level spell slot not requiring concentration, I like this b/c this spell focuses on mobility not dmg. Also, we have GFB and Blades of Fiery Wrath doing fire dmg, so if this is doing fire dmg also, that's a large amount of our dmg against the most common resistance in the game. Could we have another dmg type here ? Since we have one doing Necrotic dmg (Enervating Slash), how about this one does radiant ? (then the name could still fit) [*]Blades of Fiery Wrath - like this as is. [*]Enervating Slash - like this as is. [*]Silverlight Strike - The 4e Swordmage was a tank, and this seems like a great tank ability, but this class won't necessarily be a tank. I'd love to see one of the subclasses be aimed at a tank though, so maybe this spell could be one of the sublass ones ? Also, 4th level slots are pretty high for a half caster, and to use one for a spell that doesn't cause any dmg might be a hard sell.
