enhanced damage - NO. The conjurer is a mage, who is not skilled in the art of how to make people bleed with his axe. Sure he can whack away, but he doesn't know what the warriors know, ya know?

spellcraft - NO. The conjurer's offensive arsenal includes...magic missile. Hmm...spellcraft would seem a waste on one spell (OK I'm not sure if that's true but you get the point...it's not like an invoker here)

Perhaps at higher levels they could get a 'summoncraft' skill which helps them more accurately summon beings from other planes and keep them in their service, without them turning against the caster.

Oh, wait..those are the wards and circles of protection that they already have, right? Conjurers really seem to be very unique as far as classes are concerned. I would wait it out and see what happens with them as the next few weeks pass and these conjurering newbies start to hero.

Spellcraft is for all spells...it raises the level of the spells...hence the reason Necros Sleep is deadlier and works more often than an APs. theNINE 06:13:13 8/31/99 (2)
