More questions to my players:
What do you say we remove the spontaneous caster gimpage, with them getting spells one level late? I know it's very late to propose this, but... it irks me.
What I suggest (and what DOES NOT BECOME A RULE UNTIL WE REACH A CONSENSUS):
Spontaneous casters that gain a new spell level on even levels get one spell known (if a sorc) or their usual list (if a list caster) on the uneven level preceding it. A sorc then gets an additional spell known at the usual even level, but the rest of the progression remains unchanged.
They also get spells per day equal to their next even level number minus 1, mimimum 1, at the uneven level.
Example:
A Sorc gets a second level spell known, and two spells per day, at level 3.
What do you guys say?
