[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2956087, member: 29014"] Well, let's assume that you don't agree with most that the deck is already stacked in the Cleric's favour out of all the core classes (except maybe Druid, who is *also* advantaged by this). Let's assume we agree that Wizard and Cleric are balanced as-is. The Cleric has access to 30ish spells per spell level automatically plus two domain spells which may or may not be new per spell level. The Wizard has between 2 and 4 spells per spell level, depending on even or odd level, plus whatever she can find in scrolls (or Wizards who let her pay to scribe from their books for 50xlevel) and has to pay a second time in ink to scribe them. If the Wizard is not a specialist and goes crazy, spending thousands upon thousands of gold, maybe she will have the same number of spells known as the Cleric. Okay, we'll say that's balanced. After all, the Cleric's BAB, armour proficiencies, Hit Dice, uh wait :heh: Anyway, enter Spell Compendium. Suddenly, the Cleric doesn't just have 30ish spells known per level. She has almost 100. The Wizard? She still has 2 to 4 plus what she can find. Now ready for the final straw? The GM says [I]she will never find anything more[/I]. [/QUOTE]
