[QUOTE="Bladesinger_Boy, post: 5091392, member: 87403"] Kerrick, maybe what I want is a more thematic and power balancing, rather than saying "this type of caster is more powerful so he gets docked 1 level of spell advancement". I'd prefer to have it so prepared casters (like Wizards) have fewer mana/spell slots but have a wider range of possible spells both per day and overall access to new spells. Spontaneous casters, on the other hand, should more mana/spell slots but have a very limited range of spells per day or otherwise, almost becoming a "one trick pony" or something perhaps sought after to sac mana/spell slots for other effects (ex: Arcane Strike, Spell Shield variant, etc). A Wizard is eclectic, collegial to his casting peers, and able to learn new spells. A Sorcerer is specialized, not very social to his casting peers, and unable to learn new spells. Since I want the same thing for other "sources" of magic, I'd make the same contrast with: Clerics & Favoured Souls Druids & Shamans Psions & Wilders [/QUOTE]
