[QUOTE="Theocrat, post: 1455469, member: 16778"] [b]Adjustments[/b] Hi all- Wow, thanks for the thoughtful input. I'm having the Warmage be the required class that Wiz/Sorc take instead of the Soldier class. I think that giving them the martial weapon feat as part of the weapons and armor helps. With light armor and a longsword, at d6 HP, I doubt they'll be front line fighters, but they are intended to be able to make that attack if needed or required. I think that any additional bonus damage dice to a spell would have to be granted only to the spells that the Warmage knows. As a wiz/wm his wiz spells wouldn't have that bonus, as they get a better selection. I like the additional spell list - but from my reading of the WM in the Mhb, it looks like the WM knows all the spells on his spell list - but is only able to cast a certain amount of spellls. Or am I reading that incorrecty. With the wizard, they know a certain amount of spells - however many they have in their book, but can only cast X amount of them. With the Sorc, he knows the number of spells on table 3-17 in the PHB (pg 54). With the Warmage, he knows all the spells in his spell list, but can only cast a certain amount of them per day. Am I understanding that right? If so, adding more spells from other books (which I've always wondered how do you something like that when new/other books come out) would make them much more powerful. Do you then remove a couple of spells from their list to make room - like they can only have (lets just say) 10 spells per level on their list? (1st has 11, 2nd 9). Which brings me to my next question, for Scharlata whom added several spells to their list from the Mhb. You added Bigby's Slapping Hand among others, but I've always found it difficult add spells from a book in which the class is from or the PHB, which weren't given to that class. Yes, some of them do look like appropriate spells, but what is/was your critiera for adding them? Just evocation? Or something else or in addition. Thanks guys, I really appreciate this. I'm not in favor of making a class more powerful unless I feel it needs some adjustment.
