[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8306977, member: 6796468"] Oo... that is another thought. Making different types of magic -mean- different things. So... Half-Caster Bard would suck. But what if Bard and Warlock style Occult spells capped out at "5th Level" but 5th level was closer to 8th/9th level for a Wizard? Or a Cleric doing the same thing with 7th level spells. Different Scales for different classes, so some "Lag" at certain levels and "Jump" at others, so there's more room for other class features and defining traits. So a Wizard gets a constant granular increase in spell power, while the Bard's spell power increases in fits and spurts but there's a greater quantity of bard class abilities between the levels they'd otherwise get spell slots if they had 9 levels of spells. Could be an interesting direction to take spellcasters to make them more varied than they currently are. Comparative using Wizard spell levels/power as baseline: Wizard: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Cleric: 1 2 4 5 6 7 9 Bard: 1 3 5 7 9 ... not sure this makes sense. [/QUOTE]
