Message: <blockquote data-quote="GIBattiste" data-source="post: 2371534" data-attributes="member: 33465">Alright, I am on vacation from work, and trying to do a bit more work on this system idea. As you know, I am trying to get a bit more magic heavy then GT, but still much less magic then standard D20 D&D.  I would like to ask for some suggestions as to spell aquisition.  I was thinking about allowing arcane spell casters get two spells automatically every time they up a caster level.  I would also most likely allow a caster to learn up to his casting stat modifier in additional spells if he could find them.  The Iron Kingdoms makes a lot of use of a few very powerful wizards guilds.  I would like to offer more flavor to the guilds by giving them a list of specialty spells.  I was thinking about having maybe two spells per level, setup like two domains for a cleric.  These spells would be made available to guild members, allowing in effect a free spell to learn every level.  How does this sound?  I think this would make guilds important, and give the players a motivation to seek membership, and to give each of them a different flavor of specialization. Now my big question is about clerics.  Since the gods play a big role in this game, (Not as much as FR or GH, but they give spells etc.) I don't feel it proper to limit clerics quite the same as wizards, but I also don't want to give them the freedom they are given in D&D.  (this would lead to the end of arcane casters.)  I have thought about making them pick what spells, and domains they get to cast from, much like above.  I don't know if this is quite fair, being that I don't see as much oppritunity for a cleric to learn a new prayer, as a mage to find a spell book.  Perhaps I can just make clerics find old, forgotten prayers...A cleric has always had more freedom in spells then a mage, and the difference is still very important in a game like this.  How would you handle a cleric feel, but keep it in line with a wizard maxing out at two to four spells a caster level?Battiste</blockquote>
