[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 5260509, member: 48520"] Ouch! :P as I mentioned, I think it's more of a mechanics problem when the characters can't just throw money at a limited spell selection and have it go away. I kindof see it wizards as having a limited spell list, and they just get to choose what spells make the cut. They can expand it a bit with scrolls, but as mentioned, no guarantee they'll find what they want. Say in an extreme example, thye get three spells of each level. Any advice on how to tie the spell-gains to level gains? I'd prefer someone with more wizard levels than bard levels have a larger selection of wizard spells and a smaller selection of bard spells. It's not a mechanics issue power-wise, but it is a versatility issue. While more versatility doesn't put them above the power curve at any given point (again power is not versatility), I want them to be less versatile than they are in your current design through multiclassing. I want them to keep a similar amount of versatility as a single classed caster. [/QUOTE]
