[QUOTE="EscherEnigma, post: 8094398, member: 6750014"] Most of the "variant class features" don't bother me, but the spell versatility one... I'm conflicted. On one hand, it basically turns "spells known" casters into "spells prepared" casters, but with a slower process for changing their selection and different "spells prepared" mechanics (all existing spells-prepared casters follow the same progression, based on stat and level, all existing spells-known casters have unique progressions in their class tables). And, well, that rankles a little. On the other hand, what I've seen is that, outside of special situations, spell-casters (known or prepared) rarely change their spell selection, and when they do, it's not the spells they use all the time they change out, but the spells that weren't as useful as they expected them to be. And between the scenario of "the sorcerer has spells they never use" and "the sorcerer uses more of their spells", I think the second option is obviously superior. Players [I]should [/I]be using more of their features, and this helps that. So it rankles a little, but next time I GM, I'll almost certainly be using it. [/QUOTE]
