I felt that the whole "BC Wizards are overpowered" line was unproductive and was trying to suggest that focussing on the wizards was distracting us from all sorts of other elements in the BC world.So I picked on you. Sorry again.Now what do you think about this whole "Nobody's saying BC wizards are overpowered" line? Is that getting unproductive? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> A more interesting problem is how do you model characters like Stormbringer or Shapeshifter? Experts in their field but not necessarily possessed of the wide range of spells a typical D&D wizard would have. How do you create a character who change shape at will but can't cast fireball? More importantly, how do you model a PC becoming that character?Or was Shapeshifter a Druid rather than a Wizard?Could we create a prestige class based on the notion of following a certain "spell chain" (to steal an idea from psionics)? This prestige class requires a basic familiarity with magic, but then instead of allowing a generalized progression lets the character pick some "chain" of spells and learn those much more effectively and quickly? Could that be done?Well, of course it could. I just don't want to do the work.</blockquote>
