== The Spellcaster ==

Whether arcane or divine, the spellcaster has an array of magical effects at her beck and call. Depending on her choice of spells, she can be a healer or an enchanter, a necromancer or a trickster.

The spellcaster most closely resembles the sorcerer, though she has fewer spells per day than that class. In exchange, she gains a number of bonus feats that she can use to improve her magical aptitude, increase her survivability, heighten her combat skills, or achieve any of a wide variety of other goals.

=== Hit Die ===

d4.

=== Base Save Bonuses ===

One good save and two poor saves.

=== Class Skills ===

Choose any four skills as class skills, plus [[SRD:Craft (Skill)|Craft]], [[SRD:Knowledge (Skill)|Knowledge]] (all), and [[SRD:Profession (Skill)|Profession]].

=== Skill Points ===

2 + [[SRD:Intelligence|Int]] modifier (or four times this number at 1st level).

=== Weapon and Armor Proficiency ===

One simple weapon; no armor.

=== Bonus Feats ===

The spellcaster gets one bonus feat at 1st level, one at 5th level, and another one at every fifth class level thereafter (10th, 15th, and so on).

=== Spellcasting ===

A spellcaster learns and casts spells as a [[SRD:Sorcerer|sorcerer]]. She may select her spells known from the [[SRD:Cleric Spell List|cleric]], [[SRD:Druid Spell List|druid]], and [[SRD:Sorcerer/Wizard Spell List|sorcerer/wizard]] spell lists.

A spellcaster must choose at 1st level whether to be an arcane spellcaster or a divine spellcaster. This choice has no impact on the spells that she may learn, but affects what kinds of scrolls she can use and which ability score controls her spellcasting. An arcane spellcaster may designate either [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]] or [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] as the ability score that determines the highest-level spell she can learn or cast, and the [[SRD:DC|Difficulty Class]] of her spell's-saving throws. A divine spellcaster must use [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] to determine the highest-level spell she can learn or cast, and the DC of her spell's saving throws.

=== Multiclassing ===

A character can multiclass between arcane spellcaster and divine spellcaster.

=== Progression ===
