[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 7908068, member: 6906155"] I disagree, I think a 5e Sha'ir wizard would go a long way towards fitting the generalist niche. Something like this: level 2: [B]Special familiar[/B]: you always know the [I]find familiar[/I] spell. This does not count against your spells known. When you summon a familiar it can be a [I]gen[/I] [I][has the elemental subtype, maybe a few other tweaks][/I]. You and your familiar are resistant to the element (fire/cold/lightning/acid) associated with your gen. [B]Spell Retrieval[/B]. When you take a long rest, rather than using your spellbook you can send your gen to retrieve any wizard spells of a level up to the highest level spell slot you possess. Spells retrieved in these count against your normal number of spells you can prepare. You can only use this ability if you have a gen and it is not cut off from planar travel.[I] [This doesn't remove the spellbook, but allows the Sha'ir to prepare spells like a cleric].[/I] Level 6: [B]Enhanced Spell Retrieval. [/B]When you take a short rest you can send your gen to retrieve any one spell from any class list provided it is at a level you have slots. The spell is a wizard spell to you. You can cast this spell [B]once [/B]using one of your spell slots. Level 10: [B]Summon Genie[/B] Level 14: [B]Bind Genie[/B] [/QUOTE]
