[QUOTE="Andor, post: 5995084, member: 1879"] Oh god no. What an incredible waste. I hate having 5000 pages of spell lists which are almost but not quite the same. Wizards and Wu Jens are the same class with different pajammas, they don't need different lists. There should be an arcane list, a divine list, and a psionic list. No class gets access to every spell on the list. But Clerics and Druids both draw from the divine list and where their spells overlap, they have the same spell. Likewise sorcerers/wizards/wu jen/eldritch whatever all cast fireball rather than fireball vs sphere of incineration. Differences in casting styles or magical traditions can lie within class features, they don't call for entire extra books full of pages of slightly altered spells. Arcane spells, Divine prayers, Psionic disciplines, Warlock Invocations. Or if another class comes along that's genuinely different like 3.5 Binders or Bo9s Martial Manuevers or Incarnum then they can get their own lists. But even then they should be master lists which each class draws from. Not a seperate one for each class. That way lies page bloat madness. [/QUOTE]
