[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6065597, member: 6689464"] I'm not entirely sold on it, it would take a lot more to be fit to my tastes, one or more of the above changes would have to happen for me to like it: -Reign in the amount of spells preppared at the same time, right now it is too high (A 20th level academy wizard can have 30 preppared spells at the same time) cap that number at 11 or so spells, maybe allow some traditions to have always preppared some "signature spells" in addition to the limit, and academy wizards to add their Int modiffier to the number of spells they can cast. -Bring back reversible spells, but force preppared casters to preppare each version separately and allow spontanoues casters to use whatever version on the fly. -Compress the lesser, greater and normal versions into a single spell and have it scale propperly depending on slot. -Bring back maximum spells known per level -Give spontaneous casters more slots than those that can preppare spell lists (between 1.5 to two times that amount), but not access to ritual magic. -Bring back real metamagic -instead of "once per day" silly things- they can work pretty much as "a spell modiffied by this feat is treated as if cast on a slot x levels lower". The extra flexibility is traded for less power. [/QUOTE]
