Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leif" data-source="post: 3933152" data-attributes="member: 48762">I cherish questions!Thanks for making me think about these necessities. Okay, as to your specific questions:1)  I fully expect this to vary considerably.  Now and then, there will be "faculty sanctioned outings", "away games", etc, but there should also be plenty of time for the pursuit of player/character whims.  Potterish is a definite probability.  Not actually familiar with "Unseen University," so I can't properly address that comparison.  As to the Potter comparison, the characters would probably be at or near graduation, or possibly even post-grads working with assistantships.  Focus given to Academy activities will, again, be primarily driven by player preference, unless something BIG comes up, that is.2)  I would prefer for everyone to at least begin with one level of wizard. After that, branching out into other arcane spellcasting classes would be ok, but the further one gets from Wizard, the further one also gets from the original concept.  But, I could definitely see taking a few levels of sorcerer and then subsequently resuming progression as a wizard, building upon what was already accomplished.  (Former wizards are not like former paladins, they can pick up right where they left off.) Generalist or Specialist Wizard doesn't really matter.  There are drawbacks to specializing, but they are fairly subtle ones.3)  Again, that part of the idea hasn't been fully developed yet.  It would make the most sense for students to be either independently wealthy, from wealthy families, or on full scholarship.  Each of these three backgrounds has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, which will, no doubt, prove to be a thorn in some tender region of the student's body at some point.</blockquote>
