[QUOTE="spunky_mutters, post: 325995, member: 5426"] I think if I were playing a wizard and the sorcerer in our party was able to swap spells with any degree of frequency, I'd feel pretty shafted. This was a limitation that I would have considered when choosing a wizard over a sorcerer. To have it removed post facto would cheese me off. As a DM, I like the idea of having the Sorcerer spend a feat to get access to a ritual that lets them spend XP to swap out spells. I like game mechanics that are explainable IG. This is increasing the effectiveness of the class, and so I think balancing it with XP/Feat expenditure is reasonable. To comment on the hard limits that sleep and others have: I think that metamagic is designed precisely to extend spell limits, and I wouldn't apply the same limits to a meta version of a spell that I would to an unmodified version. That said, I'm not sure under what circumstances I would allow that limit to be raised. There aren't any metamagics that would affect it directly, so it would have to be considered a side effect. Hmm. Have to think about that some more. [/QUOTE]
