[QUOTE="Michael Tree, post: 135223, member: 1455"] You're overstating your point. There are a few rogue wizards, but they are few and far between, for the simple reason that they are under a death sentence by the conclave. Besides, there aren't really any game mechanics differences between rogue wizards and wizards of the conclave. A rogue is a wizard who doesn't belong to the order and doesn't follow its dictates. Most renegades are wizards who used to be of the order, but rebelled for whatever personal reasons. All wizards on Krynn are subject to the 3 moons, since the gods of magic are the source of all magic, and when they left in the 5th age, wizardry went away with them. Wizards in Taladas and elsewhere on Krynn all must choose a moon to follow, even if they are not a part of the order. That is simply the way magic works in Dragonlance, renegade or not. I suppose you could have renegade "wizards" who don't use moon magic (5th age mysticism or sorcery, for example), but they would be a completely different magic system and core class, not wizards. AD&D stats for Thorn Knights were in the appendex in the The Second Generation compilation. They draw their magic from all three moons, something completely unparalled in Krynnish history. A) There could be many prestige classes representing different focusses on magic. One could favor necromancy, another could be geared towards wizards who sail the seas, another could be for minotaur wizards with more of an emphasis on combat, and yet another focussed on creating magic items. The Silvanesti woodshaper's guild would be one good example already mentioned in the books. They sky's the limit. The only restriction on prestige classes would be that the Order is the only organization on Ansalon. B) There aren't any benefits of High Sorcery, aside from social ones. All wizards on Krynn are subject to the moons, except very low leveled ones. Wizards who for some reason aren't subject to the moons as normal are the very rare exception, and should have a prestige class of their own to reflext they deviation from the norm. [/QUOTE]
