I'll have to give that some thought. Although, I think once a player has Magery 0, I'd think they'd think why can't I improve magery? For me I think moreso, since I allow "multi-classing". I'm will be encouraging most PCs to go with dual-profession characters. Knights, Wizards, and to a lesser extent Clerics, Holy Warriors and Barbarians I think are fine as single archetype characters. Everyone else I really feel are better off as dual-profession. Scout/Thief, Druid/Martial Artist, Swashbuckler/Thief, Bard/Wizard, Bard/Swashbuckler, etc.

As to different bardic traditions, I'll give that some thought also. One thing I really want to do is "spelldancers". Sort of like Bards but with magic depending on dance rather than singing and music. I especlailly like Spelldancer/Martial Artist or Spelldancer/Sawshbuckler.
