Re: 3 Character Types: Fighter, Wizard, Mixed (Bard, Cleric, Monk)

I see this is a very old thread I never saw, slightly predating my joining the forum. What's so ironic is the very first thread I ever started was on this very subject, and I ended up defending the concept of a Wizardry talent in several places soon after against all the same assumptions popping up in this rekindled debate. Guess I'd better get back to work :) TippetsTX brought up one of the points I've rebutted in the past, about his desire to keep wizards something that are "born and not made". I prefer to keep it that way too, but there's no reason a Wizardry talent has to contradict that. In my rules I simply have an age prerequisite. Training in my Wizardry talent has to begin before puberty (before 12) and last continuously for several years, because children born with the psychic ability to focus and use Mana lose that ability if training hasn't started before all those hormones kick in. What that translates to is that any adult PC, at character creation, has finished learning Wizardry or not, and if they haven't then they can't start learning it now or add it later, period. Problem solved.
