[QUOTE="Death, post: 434296, member: 4541"] Scribing mechanics was developed for a wizard to balance him with sorcerer. Sorcerers get really few spells, which don't cover every possible need. Without scribing cost wizard would know all known spells and would cover all possible situations with their spells, so they would be stronger. Sorcerers have number of spell slots higher than wizards, but they can only cast 3-5 different spells per spell level. Also every metamagic feat takes sorceror full round action (more if you combine a few metamagic feats), and quickened spells can be cast for full round action... Metamagic feats are wizards domain, because he can prepare them in advance and then cast them like normal spells. The main statistics for wizard is intelligence, so he gets a lot of skill point, but sorcerer gets a few skillpoints (2+int) and CHA is usually not such an important statistic in game. In my opinion wizard (especially specialist) is stronger character than sorcerer, but still balanced. With scribing cost lowered sorcerer would be just too bad compared to wizard. [/QUOTE]
