I am a fan of lots and lots of options, and since it's pretty hard to introduce new races into DL, it's pretty much classes. I have already made 4(well, not really, they're all just variants of the Bard). I'm not sure how balanced the last two are, though...


Mystic Bard:
Exactly the same as PHB Bard, but spontaneously casts divine magic using his Wisdom score.

Theurgic(I couldn't think of a name, so I ripped off the Mystic Theurge. any names would be appreciated for this) Bard:
Exactly the same as PHB Bard, but spontaneously casts either divine or arcane magic using his Charisma score. A Theurgic Bard must choose to cast every spell he knows as either divine or arcane at the time he casts the spell, not when he learns the spell. The only restrictions are that he must cast half his spells as divine and half as arcane, and that any spells from the Conjuration(healing) subschool must be cast as divine.
NOTE: Theurgic Bards qualify for the Mystic Theurge Prestige Class at level 4(assuming they take no levels of any other class). Also, everytime they gain a new level of Mystic Theurge, they get an additional 2 spells per day.

Bard of High Sorcery:
Exactly the same as DLCS Bard, but prepares arcane magic using his Intelligence score. He gets that same ammount of spells known as a wizard, and in all ways casts as a wizard. The only other mechanical effect is that they get two less spells per day every level than they normally get(i.e., at first level, they get 0 0-level spells per day. Also, anytime they might get below 0 spells of a certain level per day, then they instead get not spells of that level per day).

Bard of Faith:
Exactly the same as PHB Bard, but prepares divine magic using his Wisdom score. They get the same ammount of spells known as a cleric, and in all ways cast as a cleric, their patron deity being Branchala(if good), Gilean(if neutral), or Hiddukel(if evil), but they cannot spontaneously cast cure spells. The only mecahnical difference is that they get the following adjustments to their spells per day, applicable to all levels in which they can cast spells of that level(anytime they might get below 0 spells of a certain level per day, then they instead get not spells of that level per day):
-0/-1/-1/-1/-1/-1/-2

Mystic Ranger:
Exactly the same as PHB Ranger, but spontaneously casts divine magic using his Wisdom score. They use the following charts for Spells Per Day and Spells Known:

Primal Assassin:
The same as DMG Assassin, except spontaneously casts arcane magic using his Charisma score.

Mystic Assassin:
The same as DMG Assassin, except spontaneously casts divine magic using his Wisdom Score.

Theurgic Assassin:
The same as DMG Assassin, except spontaneously casts arcane and divine magic using his Charisma score. A Theurgic Bard must choose to cast every spell he knows as either divine or arcane at the time he casts the spell, not when he learns the spell. The only restriction is that he must cast half his spells as divine and half as arcane.
NOTE: Assuming that no other spellcasting classes are taken, a Theurgic Assassin qualifies for the Mystic Theurge prestige class at level 2 as an assassin. Also, everytime they gain a new level of Mystic Theurge, they get an additional 2 spells per day.

Assassin of High Sorcery:
The same as DMG Assassin, except prepares his arcane magic. They get the same spells known as a wizard, and get -1 to all spells per day(they get no spells at level 1).

Assassin of Faith:
The same as DMG Assassin, except prepares divine magic using his Wisdom score. They get the same spells known as a cleric, but get -1 to all spells per day, except 1st level spells, which are the same.
