Also, I have sort of a crazy idea I've been kicking around for caster classes: spheres.

Flame
1: Burning Hands, Produce Flame
2: Flaming Sphere, Scorching Ray
3: Fireball, Flame Arrow

Healing
1: Cure Light Wounds, Goodberry
2: Cure Moderate Wounds, Lesser Restoration
3: Cure Serious Wounds, Remove Disease

Lifetheft
1: Chill Touch, Ray of Enfeeblement
2: Death Knell, False Life
3: Ray of Exhaustion, Vampiric Touch

In this system, mage classes would not have a fixed list but instead choose a certain number of spheres, with each archetype adding a bonus sphere. Would allow for more customization of spell lists, but would also be a bit laborious and possibly obviate the need for multiple classes. It may be more complicated than it is worth, but hey, what is this if not a forum for kicking around ideas, right?
