[QUOTE="MacMathan, post: 2479676, member: 191"] So I am wondering if it was a matter of not enough time to implement changes suggested by play testers or if the play testers did not encounter the imbalances and potential problems in the casting schools with higher level arcanists. If it was the former maybe some of the play testers could chime in with their experiences with the higher level arcanists. Yes I know I said I did not have time to tinker with this but it has apparently captured a large portion of my mind-share:) I am tempted to take a somewhat minimalist approach and mainly mess with the DCs for spells while trying to maintain the lower powered feel of IH as I see it. Basically I do not think any arcanist school should be better than a standard 3.5 caster at any level. In fact it seems like a lot of the schools that seem well done to me are about 1/2 power by comparison. The schools that cause problems for me are the ones that provide save or die effects, like transmutation or seem to give too much bang for the buck like conjuration. I need to analyze the other schools further. In the meantime do we know if the Iron League or someone else is going to host this sort of wiki etc soon? [/QUOTE]
