I own College of Magics, and we have had many passionate nights together discussing the nature of magic and debating what to and what not to allow in my campaign.
I'm sure they were put in with good intentions, but for the purposes I am using, copies of spells are not desired.
Also, my "Template" goal is still in the planning stages, but I'm thinking of having four Templates: Magic User (Mage, Cleric), Fighting Man (Fighter, Monk), Magic Dabbler (Ranger, Harper, Warrior Mage), and Skill Specialist (Thief, Rogue).
These Templates will be for *me* to then create Professions from them, and give myself a method for making new professions in the future, or giving the players a profession if they have that idea.
Post-Script: I must give Tim credit for my template idea, as it is essentially a HARP version of "Irregular Realms". So thank you, Tim!
