Suggested Class Change: Craft Reserve for all Spellcasters

Craft Reserve for all Spellcasters

With this change, all spellcasters have a craft reserve similar to that of the Eberron Campaign Setting's Artificer. The amount of reserve points is found through the spellcaster's caster level, which compared with the equivalent Artificer level (meaning that Clerics, Druids, Sorcerers, and Wizards use their class level while Bards use their class level -1 and Paladins use their class level -3). These points may be used in place of experience points for magic item creation.

For more information, check the Artificer description in the Eberron Campaign Setting, pg. 32.

PS: Because the Artificer is not among the available classes in the current game, there is no need to worry about its loss of niche.
