I think they gained 1-2 levels in the arc. I know the wizard did, he used a silver libram right after he earned 17th level. And, man, did he use wish creatively.Yes, but it was difficult to integrate with the other characters as it could radically increase one character's power over the other. Also, I don't think it ever changed or could improve.That said, I did love the system and did my best to integrate it, eventually making a psionic class.One thing I wanted to try but never did was to run a party of adventurers with a hard mechanical schtick; a psionic fighter, a cleric with extreme stats, a magic-user with a staff of power and a gadgeteer thief.As far as items went, I found the patron's quest good for specific items at low level and having the character's make their own at higher level. For scrolls and some potions I adapted the 100 gp / level rule for scrolls from the Blue Book.Is there an optimal number of classes? Is the paladin really the fighter/cleric? There was 10-12 classes in the PHB, counting the assassin and bard?</blockquote>
