[UA] Question about Generic Spell Caster...

[RigaMortus]

Do Generic Spellcasters get bonus spells for having a high Int/Wis/Cha? It doesn't say they do, but it doesn't say they don't.

 

[Camarath]

Since the Spellcaster learns and casts spells as a Sorcerer and the Sorcerer gains bonus spells I would say that the Spellcaster would gain bonus spells as well.

You're right, totally not addressed in the UA as written. I bet the proper answer is "yes".

 

[RigaMortus]

What do you think about them getting the "spell swap" ability like Sorcerers do? OR using their bonus feats (5th, 10th, 15th and 20th level ones) to gain MetaMagic or Item Creation feats, as a Wizard does?

 

[dcollins]

I would also guess that both those aspects are included. The feats in particular it says they can "select any feat for which he meets the prerequisites. There is no list of bonus feats to select from." I read that as saying the bonus feats aren't restricted in any way (as opposed to the core classes).

I think it's taken for granted even if unmentioned, after all AFAIK all spellcasters get bonus spells according to the same table in the PHB.

I think spellswapping would be up to you... OTOH the bonus feats can be ANY feat, or even a special ability from the list (which I think cannot otherwise be taken as regular feats, IIRC).

...(which I think cannot otherwise be taken as regular feats, IIRC).

Right. It's important to remember that this whole "Generic Classes" Variant assumes that the whole campaign switches over in its entirety to using generic classes only, no more core base classes. The listed classes, feats, and skill system are applicable only under the Generic Classes variant system.
