[QUOTE="jayaint, post: 1306234, member: 6154"] First off, thanks to everyone who replied. I get so focused in on my little mental side of the argument that its good to hear other points-of-view. My point is, however, not one of over or underpowered, really. I understand balance. I really do. It just seems like, now, with the Mystic class from Dragonlance, and the Favored Soul class from Miniatures Handbook, that WotC has pretty much made the statement that ANY innate caster is going to be on the 4th level for 2nd, 6th level for 3rd advancement scale. And for some reason, when that realization hit me, it didn't set well. That's all. This thread is just my wondering why WotC would make it that way (seemingly) so concretely. :D Pawsplay... I understand your point, but tomorrow, while my innate caster is still casting the same spells he cast the day before, your memorizer could have an ENTIRE new slate of spells memorized and will only be ONE level from getting higher level ones. LordAO.. This thought occurred to me when looking at the innate divine casters so I didn't mean it to be a comparison between sorc/wiz. I apologize if it came across that way. And, I made a point to say this was not about "shaft"ing or "nerf"ing, just an observation, and wondering why it was so. If I think something is broken/nerfed/etc... I'll fix it: house-rule style! :D If balance is the key, IMHO I believe there MUST be a more eloquent way than lagging innate casters. *shrug* Thanks for listening. [/QUOTE]
