Wizard: more hp, but spells never reaches 9th level, limited offensive spell capacityv.s. Cleric: No heavy armor or shields, no healing spells, again no 8-9th level spellsThe inspiration I drew for this class is based on the Sublime Chord from the Complete Arcane.  I'm also wondering about other abilities for the class, though the spell progression may be good enough to not need any.</blockquote>
