Message: <blockquote data-quote="kinem" data-source="post: 5719229" data-attributes="member: 24234">I'm not convinced that allowing wizards to do some healing would be unbalanced. When the 3.5 ed mystic theurge first came out, a lot of people thought it was too powerful, and I was one of them. But it didn't take long to realize that it wasn't.As for using wands of curing, anyone with a good UMD skill can do a fair job of that already. And getting Cure Light Wounds as a 2nd level spell is not going to compete much with the cleric's healing power.Flavorwise, we know that arcane magic can heal: the bard can do it, the alchemist can do it, and the witch can do it. So I see no logical reason why a wizard couldn't do it too, and some existing wizard spells already do to an extent, such as Infernal Healing. It's not their specialty, so they are not as good at it, but spells are spells and with enough effort they can learn to do it. I think they should be able to do it in some way, but I'm open to other ideas about how.As for the witch, maybe the best thing to do would be to allow them to get a bonus feat in place of a familiar, and to allow all witches to access wizard spells at +1 spell level.</blockquote>
