[QUOTE="Aurio, post: 2049441, member: 24583"] I made this class some time ago, and was planning to introduce it to my players this week, but it occured to me that it seems a little overpowered. Any suggestions on how to balance it up a bit? (further spell progress restriction is not an option)The Wild Caster Hit Die: d4. Requirements To qualify to become a Wild Caster, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria. Alignment: Any Chaotic Skills: Concentration 7 ranks, Spellcraft 7 ranks, Knowledge (arcana) 15 ranks. Spells: Ability to spontaneously cast 7th level arcane spells. Special: Must have been in a Wild Magic Zone Class Skills The arcane trickster’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Knowledge (Arcana and the Planes) (Int), Profession (Wis) and Spellcraft (Int). Skill Points at Each Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Spells per Day/Known:When a new wild caster level is gained ( other than 1st, 5th or 10th ) , the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained, except for an increased effective level of spellcasting.
