Does assassin get anything particularly appropriate that wouldn't be covered by Sor/Wiz + Wuj?Anyway, I don't really like this since it cuts them off from some appropriate spells (I think... can't think of many off hand, so maybe it's not so bad) and allows some not-so-appropriate spells like fire shield or mirror image...Then again, are fire shield and mirror image really all that unappropriate? You don't see stuff like that in CTHD, but I can easily imagine something like that showing up in some of the more outrageous wuxia movies...Maybe I've been thinking about this too hard, and my first idea was best: just be a battle sorc (or a bard...) and pick the right spells. Sure, you won't be a high-Wis mystic, instead of being something of a flamboyant airhead (high Cha and Wis as your likely dump stat), but close enough, eh?I guess my reasoning was that if you tell people who want to play magical wuxia warriors "just play a battle sorc" they will eventually pick up some not-so-appropriate but oh-so-useful spells like glitterdust or limited wish, because they can. But if you limit their spell list by cutting out some good but not appropriate spells, you not only ensure better focus, but also leave room for some minor flavour-enhancing bennies elsewhere (like the better skill list or Improved Unarmed Strike).</blockquote>
