04-22-08, 03:56 AM Ive always thought crafting was cool, but a little inconvienant, so ive created this PrC to kinda make it easir... i mean, c'mon, not every town you visit is gonna have that +5 bacon burst longsword, and you may not even have the money for one. Ya i realize this class isnt the most balanced, but its essentially just supposed to make crafting a little easir.

04-22-08, 09:54 PM The only problem is that if a wizard takes this class, he's not giving up anything. There's got to be some sort of loss in order to gain all of this free stuff, if you want to maintain game balance. What I would suggest is advancing spellcasting progression only on levels 2 and 3 - That would be a good balance.

Then id never take it (or expect anyone else to). The wizard loses their standard, more flexible feat. I mean, almost all caster PrC dont involve a loss. Loremaster? Archmage?
