Revamping spellcasters
Using the new, Blue Rose based magic system requires a fresh approach to making spellcasting classes evoke different feels. I’ve put some work into fixing that.
All spellcasters start off with 2-4 spells at first level, half of which must come from their sphere. They gain more spells by taking the arcane training feat. If bound to a sphere through race or class, they gain full ranks in spells from that sphere. If merely linked, they gain half ranks. If they resonate with a sphere, they’ll gain some sort of as-yet-undetermined boost.
Each caster has a different method of enhancing their spells and a different focus; runecasters are strategic, psions are tactical, mages are versatile, bards are team players, while druids and witches are focused more on supernatural tendencies rather than straightfoward spellcasting.
