I've reduced the cost to inscribe spells, because buying special Arcane Inks that are expensive doesn't work in a world where arcane magic is largely distrusted. But increased the time required drastically, essentially making copying spells into your lorebook a downtime activity.Which, honestly, feels more appropriate, to me..? To keep it from being too onerous I specifically noted that you can break up those 12 or 4 hours across multiple short or long rests, or knock 'em all out in one shot.Now here's a fun thing... The Chronicler Wizard Subclass is something I've been poking at but haven't really committed to (Spent the last two days mostly with my husband since he had time off work) and I'd like to get a couple of opinions at least:Option 1) Adventurewizard. Free casts of Mage Armor, increased skill variety, possibly allowing the Chronicler to use their Intelligence in place of Strength for certain skill or ability checks to show a wide variety of minor magics being active. Like using their Intelligence score to determine their jumping distance, or letting them use magic to hold a door shut like a Barbarian might use his mighty thews.[MEDIA=youtube]nqF0yFLjiXs[/MEDIA]Option 2) Flexiwizard. Straight up give them Eldritch Invocations as a Subclass Ability. It heavily informs the idea that Eldritch Invocations are a form of "Properly Educated" magic if Wizards, who study magic, gain some as they go along. It also means that these Wizards would gain a lot of flexibility through spells and invocations. Probably more than Warlock-Magess, overall, which also reinforces the idea that Warlock-Mages are kept under some measure of information-control.Option 3) Combination of the Two. Less Invocations, no free Mage Armor (Without taking the invocation), but some skill-use changes to allow for Adventurewizard shenanigans. Blending the two options may seem like a no brainer, as it gives them the most variety of subclass abilities with some being flexible and others having flexible applications, but I'm worried about the comparative power level involved.Y'all have any thoughts?</blockquote>
