[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3674051, member: 29014"] The Archivist has to pay to add anything beyond two per level, so it is balanced versus the core Cleric when you look at the vast list the core Cleric has--the Archivist would have to be insanely rich just to add those core spells, since she doesn't get all the core spells to start and the Cleric does. Do you agree it's balanced then? Now if you add the entire Spell Compendium and all Eberron supplements and you aren't careful about it, the Cleric has something like 4 to 5x as many spells that just randomly appear on her spell list. Assuming the player is rich enough to own all these books IRL, this gives her character a huge advantage in flexibility when preparing spells each morning at no cost. Not only is it unfair to the Archivist, whose disadvantage was just multiplied by a large amount, it's [I]incredibly[/I] unfair to the Favoured Soul, who was already weaker than the Cleric, since the Favoured Soul can never add more spells known to her list.
