I'm not getting into PrC spell list issues with this right now.

But I was thinking about the differences in classes between 3E and 2E, and one thing that currently annoys me in 3.0+ is the independant spell lists.

I used to love Bards - I could cast the spells I'd want to cast, not the spells someone thinks I should cast.

I had a Ranger who could call lightning bolts and the like.

Does or Has anyone just reverted the spell lists to the old variations where you simply cast spells off the lists of the relevent class?

What do people think of the way spell lists stop inapropriately. For example, If you followed the progressions properly for a Wizard, you'd only cast 3 8th and 9th spells at 20th, but you'd cast 2 10th spells at 20th...

Any thoughts, baring in mind my experience of 2E is of limited player capacity.
