Vharuck 10-05-07, 05:00 PM	I think they should get animate object, too. However, I do find it funny that you argued how this particular magical rule isn't "logical." Logic and magic don't mix well. :P
Xiuhcoatl 10-05-07, 05:09 PM	Well, in some sense, it's true: animating objects is very characteristic of wizards. The Sword in the Stone? The Magician's Hat? I always thought it odd that wizards and sorcerers were unable to animate objects.
mvincent 10-05-07, 06:25 PM	Why can't Wizards & Sorcerers cast Animate Object?While I agree completely, a possible reason might be that animating an object is essentially imbuing it with positive energy (similar to how a Ravid (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/ravid.htm) does)... and Wizards aren't known to be good with using positive energy (otherwise they could heal people).

It makes more sense than calling healing spells "Necromancy" or randomly dropping them in Conjuration.
