Mourn said:So, you then believe that the wizard should take up more space in the core book than all the other classes combined, as was the case in 3e until they put the sorcerer in?
That's my problem. I don't mind wizards getting more, new stuff down the line, but favoring one class over all others in the core book is poor design.
I think you're missing my point as well. I am prepared to hand wave these things for BBEG guys in my game until the next PHB comes out. I am referring to the possibility that enchantments will be reserved for another class and that Polymorph will never make it into the rules. The fact that I will feel the loss of these spells in PHB1, does not in any way meant that I want to short change other classes. If you noticed the rest of my original post, I am extremely excited about the new powers/traits/maneuvers (whatever they are going to call them) for the martial characters. I just built a fencer using Bo9S for an upcoming Ravenloft game and am very psyched about playing him.
