I also don't think you really need more than a handful of subclasses around the basic premise of "schools" as a subclass.  If you run out of schools at 8, and Psion subclasses at 6, that's sufficient for that concept.  You can then make more wizard sublases, like say a Pyromancer or Psion subclasses like say a Metamind.I wouldn't mind some sublasses outside of the base discipline oriented ones.</blockquote>
