[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9013030, member: 27385"] I would be fine with keeping the limited spell progression, but add cool powers if one feels they are underpowered. Maybe spells are no their main thing if they are something like a rogue AT, or a fighter EK and to try and make them full casters and full fighters or rogues while not making them more powerful is not happening. A half caster like the ranger or paladin begins to feel left behind at higher levels, or even starting in tier 2, so maybe a cool power over more spells might work. Trying to get the flavor of the class that is different than casters might be harder. It might suck that you are finally getting a 3rd level spell when the caster is getting a 5th level spell, but you should have something else that is cool that the casters look at you and wish they had. Another idea is that there could be a subclass for these classes that grants spells faster at the expense of other class features. This way you can be a better caster, but a poorer paladin or ranger.
