You can switch completely to AU, ignore AU completely, or find some middle ground, which I'm trying to do.If there's a thread on this already (probable but not definate), please guide me to it.Otherwise, I would like to discuss how to integrate AU's rather ingenious and refreshing spell system into a stable and working DnD 3.5 system.Some points to begin with:--> I would like to keep the wizard and sorceror classes (probably ignoring Magistar and Mageblade for now). I really like the contrast of formulaic vs. spontaneously spellcasting.--> I would like to keep the differences between Divine and Arcane spells. I am willing to merge all divine lists and merge all arcane lists, but there must be certain exceptions (most notably the exclusive druid/ranger/greenbond spells).--> I would like to use AU's "ready spell" feature. Having traditional wizard spell slots is getting tedious, and discourages on-the-fly tactics and increases general frustration. However, if you look at the magister's high-end "spells readied at a time" table, he can memorize about 70 or 80 spells total. This makes him extremely powerful -- he is essentially a sorceror with the known-spell list of a wizard. Of course, this isn't exactly the case, but what I would like to see is a stricter "spells readied" chart, perhaps half the number of known spells a sorc. would have.</blockquote>
