Message: <blockquote data-quote="ruleslawyer" data-source="post: 138110" data-attributes="member: 1757">Since I started this thread hijack: My apologies to those who want a discussion about spellfire.To dive into the fray, however:Archmage: Definitely not overpowered. Requires a "burn feat" (Skill Focus: Spellcraft), and you have to trade off spell slots for every ability you get in return. The advantage that a sorc has in having more spell slots to sacrifice is eroded by the entry requirement of knowing 5th- or higher-level spells from five schools.Divine Champion & Guild Thief: OK, I haven't playtested these. But in all honesty, I see more fighters choosing butch classes like the OotBI, Weapon Master, or pretty much anything from OA (if they have access to it) over the Divine Champion. Hierophant: This class is not the same as the archmage. It has NO SPELLCASTING PROGRESSION. Enough said.Shadow adept: OK, I agree here, although I almost think the class needs to have its abilities for consistency of flavor. Moreover, having to make additional checks to counterspell and detect magic vs. pretty much every other spellcaster in the game IS a bit of drawback.Incanatrix: I really loathe the amount of bashing this class gets on the boards. Unless you really love metamagic, this class gives pretty much no benefit over playing a straight wizard, AND requires the Iron Will feat. Moreover, the Incanatrix's Instant Metamagic ability was nerfed in errata to not allow metamagicking that would raise a spell's effective level above the maximum spell level that the character can cast. The Loremaster (DMG) is a substantively more powerful PrC.</blockquote>
