[QUOTE="ender_wiggin, post: 2091301, member: 21629"] Thanks; you have a lot of very good ideas. Your idea of the wizard, imho, is still too powerful. If you think about it, a 3.5 wizard can have 4 spells readied at a time (per level), with no flexibility whatsoever. Your suggested wizard has 4 or 5 spells readied at a time with the ultimate flexibility. I'm thinking of doing what you suggested except [i]subtracting[/i] one from all levels instead of adding one. Wizards have the option of replacing a single spell that takes twenty minutes (of which they can do a limited number of times per day), or replacing their entire list in 3 hours. Of course, if they rest for eight hours, then study for 1 hour, they can refresh their entire list that way as well. This option should not infringe on the sorceror's prized flexibility too much. In fact, in many ways it [i]cuts down[/i] slightly on the wizard's flexibility, and makes up for some fighter vs. mage balance issues at high level. I am planning on adding all nondescript (no tags) simple and complex spells to the wizard/sorceror list, then later picking and choosing to add some to the other lists. Bard list will get all the sonic spells. Druid and Ranger list gets all the Plant and Water spells. Ranger list should probably get Earth spells as well. Paladin list gets all "positive energy" spells. I will throw Greenbond, Mage Blade, Magister out for the time being. [/QUOTE]
