Hi all,

This is a bit of a tangent, but I was wondering if anyone has had any thoughts about the slightly artifical restrictions the WoW magic system has when differentiating between "trained" and "untrained" magic users.

I'm not sure if BRP uses the same restriction - I'm guessing it does. I was wondering if it's actually necessary. Sure, it effectively creates a magic-user "character class", which might be good in certain games, but are there any game balance reasons in the BRP rules why it would be necessary? Specially given that spells are effectively skills in that system?

Just wondering what people think.

Cheers,

Sarah
