[QUOTE="tlantl, post: 5837194, member: 55225"] Kamikaze Midget, you forgot that wizards could be severely limited in the number of spells they could know as well. If they had an intelligence score closer to ten than eighteen then they only had nine spells per level and their chance to learn spells was pretty low too. I believe the out of control wizard is a result of tossing these rules out the window. A return to this kind of control certainly wouldn't hurt, Of course there are those who don't like being limited like this, and they can be pretty loud, so I have no illusions about this coming to pass. I'm pretty sure that if imposing limits like this were the case there would be no need to invent ways for fighters to improve their gear. Besides players could pretty much do this already with the magic mart mentality that came along with 3e. [/QUOTE]
