Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khaalis" data-source="post: 1387444" data-attributes="member: 2167">Is this class the ONLY casting class in the campaign?If they are scholars and on a quest for knowledge, I think the skills might be a bit too broad. They are not the jacks of all trades that bards are.Why Heal and Search? The class is based on being scholars not humanitarians. They don’t specifically learn the healing arts so I think this is a stretch. Search is also a bit of a stretch but I can see it uses and its reasoning.You also don’t mention HOW the class casts. What is the spells per day table? You say they have the Adept Spell List but don’t mention if they cast as an adept.Also allowing them to learn any spell if they are not the only casters may be unbalancing if you allow arcane casters to heal. This is VERY powerful. This is granting 10 free Skill Focus feats (and thus +30 skill ranks effectively).Why?  What is the logic behind a familiar for a scholar? Especially in a low magic world when the entire concept of the magical familiar link is quite powerful.Makes sense but I assume there are NO bards in your world? If there are, this trods on their primary ability.Small point but 10th level isn’t the pinnacle of a class’s career. Also, this needs to be cleaned up. It is very “clunky” as written (I know it’s a draft just pointing it out). This ability is also pretty big. You are removing the limitation on class spells by adding full knowledge of all spells from 4 schools of magic. And at the same time granting 4 bonus spells cast per day.  Also throw in the fact that on top of this you are adding yet another advanced ability gets a bit too much.This isn’t so bad but I would choose one ability to grant or mix them into one such as +1 to save DCs and +2 to Spellcraft.See above – I think that its getting to be too much.This statement doesn’t make sense. Needs clarified but it sounds like you are basically applying all of the bonuses to all remaining schools?So your chart looks like this.1….. Spells2….. Skill Focus, Summon Familiar3….. Bardic Knowledge4….. Skill Focus5…..6….. Skill Focus7…..8….. Skill Focus9…..10… Skill Focus, Arcane Calculus11...12... Skill Focus13... Arcane Calculus, Advanced Calculus14... Skill Focus15...16... Skill Focus, Arcane Calculus, Advanced Calculus17...18... Skill Focus19... Arcane Calculus, Advanced Calculus20... Skill FocusI personally feel its too powerful And could use to be trimmed, but then I am not sure about the whole spell picture either.Now add on…Additional Campaign Related Rules:Why? If they are an arcane caster and are not militant trained – why should they not suffer arcane spell failure the same as anyone else? What makes this “scholar” special in this case?This is a very odd and clunky rule. What is the logic behind this? Why are you changing the bases of the entire dice system in D&D?That’s just my initial glance and opinion on the class.</blockquote>
