Wizards in my campaign do NOT automatically get new spells. They have to find them or research them. They do not get summon familiar or scribe scroll at first lvl, but get heighten spell at lvl 1 for free, enabling them use of 0 lvl spells as prerequisites for reserve feats. I'm not sure why you advise to force wizards to specialize...2. As the cleric and wizard spells are treated in the same way, why should the cleric be penalized where the wizard is not? Or do you find the cleric to be more powerfull in the core version as well?3. Good point about being able to counter mind affecting spells. I will probably need to add other resistances as well. I'll check it out. (will probably introduce this as a Feat though, since other classes might want to be able to get extra protection as well)4. Actually, I am using the Psion as a rulebase for a 'Weaver' (something the player in question picked up from a book and wanted to play). They are able to percieve the world on a molecular level, and can see the 'threads' that bind all things and places toghether. Using these threads, they can manipulate matter, mind and location. Because these are all things from different disciplines, I decided to do away with the discipline restriction. I may also allow the 'Weaver'(Psion) to add disciplines at some time, or increase the number of times he may take the 'Extra Power' Feat. (but instead of adding a power, allowing him to take a power from a different discipline instead of the normally granted power)I'm not too happy about reducing skillpoints, since I find that skills add to the depth of a character. I'm thinking about charisma as base for the Weaver's powers. Might be interesting, since there are not going to be a lot of other classes focussing on charisma.Last but not least, since I will be upgrading ALL classes that enter the campaign, balance issues with existing core-classes should be minimal. (although I might run into trouble later on with NPC classes and encounter levels. But I'll worry about that later.....Herzog</blockquote>
