And yet, how many non spell casting classes are there? Even the fighter and rogues have spell casters. Hell! Even a lot of the Barbarian subclasses look like spell casters...A rarity of spellcasters should imply minimal stat requirements. 14 wisdom for clerics for examples and subclasses receiving a second requirement. I could totally see a knowledge cleri  with a minimum intelligence of 13 as a requirement. A war cleric with 13 strength minimal score or a trickster cleric with a Dexterity of no less that 13... Same with wizard, minimum of 14 in Intelligence but depending on the school,  other stats would spring into the requirered stats. I could see an enchanter with a 13 in charisma. And so forth....As it is now. There are only requirements for multiclassing and these are ridiculously low.And the books tries to tell me that  casters are relatively rare? Am I truly supposed to believe that as the rules do not support that claim? At least in 1ed and 2ed there were true restrictions on casters.</blockquote>
