[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 7987857, member: 6788732"] I liked the wizard scribe subclass, up until level 10 with and 14. I'm happy with a magical book and quill it's rather flavourful, I've always thought the changing damage types is fine, but then suddenly having the manifest mind or whatever from the archivist seems to me like it is out of theme for the subclass (at least they gave it hit points, I have a player with the artificer archivist subclass and the invulnerable brain he has flying around is so annoying). I want a magical libram but not necessarily one that is alive. I'd probably remove all instances of the spellbook being awakened from the subclass. The level 14 ability is crazy, sure you can save yourself and lose some spells in the process but not being able to cast them again ever until a wish is used for each spell is rather harsh. You lose the spells, need a wish to be able to recast them, then you need to find them again. Also there's the teleport ability but that ties into the manifest mind ability which I already don't like. The only thing I like about this is that this is one of the few times where they have an ability that has a negative impact rather than just being something that only adds benefits to your class (only other ability that comes to mind is the Berserker's frenzy giving the barbarian exhaustion and the Evoker ability that will harm them if they use it too often). Still, I think that I would probably change this to remove the penalty of needing a wish spell to restore their ability to relearn those spells again. [/QUOTE]
