I wish they would have picked up my mod's handling of Professions. They should be what makes a Sov stand out from other heroes.

I don't mind Impulsive remove if all spell cast one turn, though.

I don't know, don't want fireball useless, power user like throw fireball should be powerful, and fear, not weak. LOL in truth, I feel I forced to pick up impulsive to make my Sovereign move useful, warrior is easy and more powerful while mage is not so powerful in common, you had to gave up other bouns to pick up level up to get that spell to make mage sovereign useful, even he stuck with fire, what happan if enemies had fire resit, then that sovereign useless, so he had to use water spell or air sell, not lot of "attack spell" I don't see impulsive destory that balance but it's at least help mage more useful but still weak, mage sovereign must had all spell to be useful. there is 5 spell of 5 level of spell, in order to get all spell to be useful, he had to level up 25 level to get it all to be useful in genearl or common. Personal, I don't like forced to get impulsive to get sovereign more useful. other wise it's useless for sovereign mage and better off as fighter it's so easy and pick up level and wack any enemie, no matter what kind of they had resis while mage could stuck with one or two level, could be useful or useless. while warrior all useful, all the time.

Agreed.  Large weapons with strong negatives to initiative are available fairly quickly in the game to champions, as are opponents you'll need to use them on simply to move through territory that would otherwise by completely blocked; and spell availability ramps up more slowly.  So you're suddenly left with heroes who are very slow, and lack hit points to sustain even small damage in repeated attacks.  a +1 to initiative doesn't do much to offset a -4 or -6 weapon.  +2 seems reasonable, as it requires a few levels to help, but not enough to make it seem worthless in the light of other level up options.

Yeah, i guess 15 % would be great at the early game and at the late game.

Spell mastery works for magical attacks (not for damage spells) in the same way as accuracy works for physical attacks.

Personnaly, i'll prefer stardock drop these professions  and adopt a system similar to master of magic.

Actually our choices are very limited, and they don't really change the way a game is played.

Ok, I had 17 level (I should play as mage but end up as fighter LOL) I had 200 to 300 spell mastery in my last gameplay, I tried magic staff, it's still damage 1 to 6 to common enemies, while my attack is 18 and do damage 10 at least, I try to use spell like thurstorm, hit ramon cost me 18 mana, but I don't had lot of mana, hit 18 damage, fighter is way powerful than mage, I had no problem fighter powerful, after all I'm level 17 attack lot of monter, I set high number of monter in  map setting while I set magic normal. so mage do need some sort of buff ( I mean all spell should be reseaching in tech, while mage had start off magic attack with little mana.) mana is too low or spell mana cost is too high. Fighter can always fight, while mage had to get ton of shed to be useful, and lot of quest to get spell(never happan to me, I alwasy got item but no spell) while warrior is so easy, all you had to do reseaching and buy item in store, or loot item.

I don't know what is spell mastery readly do unless it's for overcome spell resist only, but if talk about magic staff or spell damage, spell mastery don't help there.
