I am currently in the middle of reading a guide to wizards and it shows a list of alternate class features wizards can/should take?

In numerous supplements, there exist 'alternate class features'; basically, you swap one feature of your class for something different. For example, in Complete Mage, a specialist wizard can give up his familiar to get a special magical ability, or a druid using PHB2 could exchange his spontaneous summoning for generating fast healing effects.

A alternate class feature is a class feature that you can have, but you must get rid of some other class feature, basiclly anyways.

For Example:
There is a class feature in UA that lets a wizard trade his "Summon Familiar" class feature for the druids "Animal Companion" Class feature with 1/2 progression.

Do you get it now?

Yes thank you. Just one more thing. What do you mean by 1/2 progression?

you get at half the pace of the Druid.

EX: A level 20 Wizard has an Animal Companion of a 10th level Druid, 1/2X20=10

Get it?
