[QUOTE="Wik, post: 3671193, member: 40177"] I think the trick is to focus on something - Buffing or Summoning seem to be the smart choices for me, because their Spell Secrets support that (none of those metamagic effects really benefit, say, a character that focuses on [i]fireball[/i]. Illusions are another option, if you can bear losing access to some of the more enjoyable illusions (Color Spray and some of the combative illusions, for example). If you can convince the GM (or, if you *are* the GM) to let appropriate spells from other sources on to the Wu Jen's spell list, I think they'd probably be almost balanced with Wizards. And to all those who feel the class sucks because "it's oriental" - Drop the asian name (I call 'em "Elementalists"), fold the Metal element into the core list, and make up an air element, and I think you're set. oh, and one more thing about the class that is kind of annoying (and should be houseruled) - at 9th level, only Wu Jen of the Fire Element have a spell in their school! What's that about? [/QUOTE]
