Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kaji" data-source="post: 700310" data-attributes="member: 7738">I have a character who is nearly ready to take levels in ArchMage, so I'm very thankful for the discussion here. A few points:I think Shard might be right on with the idea of dropping maybe 2 levels of spell progression from the class. I'd most likely have taken it anyway, but it would give me more pause. Also, I don't think anyone has mentioned that fact theat the requirements to get into the class are a little rough. Spell Focus on 2 schools would not have been my first choice for feats, and there is no way in hell I would have taken Skill Focus (Spellcraft) unless I was trying to quaslify for this class. In my opinion, that's one feat burned completely and a second feat not exactly what I would have normally chosen. I also have to put quite a few ranks into skills I most likely would have skipped. That being said, it is still a very rockin PrC. But FR is a very magic centric world, and I'd be surprised to not see great mages with poweful abilities. DM's should take this into account, have enemies get good SR, maybe some Spell Turning items, maybe an Anti-Magic field going. plus, all the ideas of counterspelling are pretty sound too. I've been playing with exactly this idea, that a party would have 2 spellcasters, one to blast and one to sit back and counterspell, and the enemies should have one too. I'm looking forwad to playing the class, I just hope I don't overshadow my buddies too much <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
