A question about balance....

[Stormthorn]

So if i gave a class d6 hitdice and 3/4 BaB progression along with the Spells Known of a Sorcerer and the Spells Per Day of i Wizard do i end up with a under powered, overpowered, or balanced class?

The idea is to get it underpowered and then give it interesting abilities and a huge possible list of spells they can learn to balance it back out.

The abilities i was considering involve making low level spells Supernatural and eventualy allowing the Con bonus to be added to the caster level.

It sounds like it would be balanced-ish with some special abilities.

Unearthed Arcana Battle Sorcerer:

-d8 Hit Die
-3/4 Base Attack Bonus
-Proficiency in a single light or one-handed Martial weapon
-Reduce the number of spells per day by 1 for each spell level
-Reduce the number of spells known by 1 for each spell level

Does that look like what you want? I'd say that dropping the Hit Die to a d6 might allow you to keep the normal number of spells known.

Keep in mind that by level 20 the class is supposed to have their 0-4th level spells be cast as Supernatural abilities. Thats makes them uncounterspellable and whatnot.
