[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 4029973, member: 29398"] Go to a spell-point system with random-rolled spell points...leads to just as much variety among the casters as the warriors. I've been using such a system for decades...I'm only moving away from it now due to power issues at higher levels, but the new quasi-sorceror system I'll be using still has a random component (though not as swingy as before). I'm a big fan of random...it reflects reality. Take a class full of computer science students, for example. Each will in theory be exposed to the same information during the class, and each will take in a certain amount of it. But there will still be a *wide* variety on the final test scores, in part due to innate ability to learn and in part due to other factors. Now, make that a class full of neophyte Wizards or acolyte Clerics, with the "final test" being life in the field, adventuring. Doesn't it just make sense there'll be some variance in ability?
