[QUOTE="Phazonfish, post: 7988356, member: 6855766"] Are you guys [I]all[/I] playing blaster Wizards? I get that Forceballs are great and all, but even if this had a limit like "can only be used a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier. You regain all uses after taking a long rest." I wouldn't see a difference because it would take a long, combat heavy day for me to throw that many Fireballs anyway. And it does nothing to creatures that already don't resist your damage type. I agree that having to match types would be funner than being able to brainlessly pick force, but I really don't think this feature is abnormally strong. Strong, to be sure, but not in need of fixing. [S]Chopped Liver[/S]Psionic Soul Sorcerer: "I'm still here!" It's [B]strictly[/B] better than every feature the PHB Wizard subclasses get in that slot. Same. It's a super cool concept, but the whole truename system needs some work, so it seems like more trouble than it's worth. I'd still love to see it done right if they ever decide to bother though. Does saying I want this give me my first level in Warlock? Interesting. I was severely nonplussed by these lists. Outside of Wish of course, that's great. These spells are like... okay? But the subclass doesn't even give them to you, they are just added to the Warlock list for you to have the option of spending selections on; Fireball and Wall of Stone are nice I guess, but I feel like there are just better options on the default list. Love this. Did... did you just couch instead of coughing? For real. Drawmij's Instant Summons, you just lost the only thing that made you slightly appealing. Forgive me for my lack of knowledge of lore because I'm sure that is about to be made apparant, but if the djinni are speaking Auran isn't the common language Primordial? Though I suppose it's not specific to genies. Taking Sickening Radiance just to murder CR 1/2 creatures easily at 7th level and up doesn't exactly sound like something I would call "abuse" but I'm happy you would have fun with it. I feel like this is the problem and gating force damage is just a bandage. I think that was more about the fact that you could take any one Lore Master feature other than the initiative thing, give a wizard subclass that one feature and no other non-ribbons and you would have decently balanced class.
