[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5687864, member: 52734"] Well, I'm not sure I would say "silly rules" so much as opening alternative options for a different take on a class. Spells with an expensive component might still be an issue, in this case I'd be perfectly willing to treat this as a sort of specialist, like a necromancer who has to give up casting spells from the illusion school, the poverty mage gives up casting spells with expensive components. If that doesn't work, perhaps increasing the casting time (1 full round per 100 gp or so) or requiring some "power component" (say, the eye of a baskilisk for stoneskin) might be appropiate - perhaps requiring a special feat even. Lastly, there may be method around the loss of magic items. Perhaps via a ritual or spell, the wizard could draw out the magic from an item (destroying the item) to directly confer the bonus to himself for a limited time (like, say from a circlet of intelligence +2) or avail himself of the underlying spell used in the construction of the item. Perhaps a feat chain would be in order, that inreases the duration of these "stolen" magic, to replace the lost value of item creation feats. [/QUOTE]
