[QUOTE="Crass, post: 1441653, member: 13211"] Just a small balance: have all arcane spells - including those of bards and sorcerors - based on intelligence, and keep divine spells based on wisdom. Make the saving throws for the spells based on charisma. (Rationalisation for this: it requires int or wis to cast spells, and force of personality (ie charisma) determines how powerful the spells are once cast). Casters with low charisma would therefore have spells that are easy to shrug off. This means that casters would generally strive to have two high stats and bring them more into line with non-spellcasters, who often need two or more high stats to survive effectively. Eg.
