Salla 03-11-05, 11:21 PM	Here's what I'm thinking of doing. 1. Free Eschew Materials at 1st level. Pretty typical fare. 2. Free Metamagic feat at 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level. 3. Spontaneous casters (of whatever class) do not suffer increased casting time when using metamagic-ed spells, so they can make use of Quicken Spell. Additionally, the Wizard's bonus feats are now only for Spell Mastery and Item Creation feats (though, obviously, they can still take metamagic feats with their regular every-three-levels feats). While I'm not usually big on stereotypes, it does make it more likely that a wizard will be the bookish, laboratory-bound tinkerer while the sorcerer is a free-wheeling spellcaster who can manipulate magic easily and naturally. Thoughts?

Thoughts? I'm cool with option 1 and 3, but two is too much. After all, it looks like a Wizard clone now. How about maybe choose spells off druid list instead of #2.

Well, either I never read any of them, or they lingered in my subconscious until they gathered enough energy to come to the forefront.

Sithobi1 03-12-05, 10:37 PM	You mean druid list in addition to wizard list? I could go for that. Also, IMO he should have more class skills, and maybe more SPs. A sorc has fewer class skills than the wizard, the supposed bookworm who doesn't have time to practice anything but magic. He is supposed to be the face of the party according to WOTC, but he doesn't have Diplomacy? :nonono:
