I just think it's neat... and easy to justify lore-wise with the rest of their Transmutation based spells

Please... it would definitely be useful to have.

I really like a lot of the stuff that astrologians do, and it seems like they would get increasingly strong as they are more long-lived, have higher levels, and have access to gear that confers a bonus to Astrology.

At the same time, right now astrologians really don't have anything to do with their level 1 spells and seem to be struggling to maintain parity with bards and wiz/sorcs. Bards not having the gold to have a repertoire of songs yet is keeping astrologians ahead at the moment. It feels like they could use some help because they don't have the questing utility of the wiz/sorc's spell buffs and the bard does a lot of what astrologians do but to the whole party.

... regardless, I'm having a blast with the new class.  : D

I personally think that they shouldn't get everything Wizards / Sorcs have while also having their entirely unique set of skills.

Well their flame weapon equivalent strips blur anyway so that's a kind of reverse magic weapon.

New suggestion: make Stellar Blade hour/level then everybody wins  ;D

Dremen

I considered raising the suggestion that stellar blade was changed to 2 turn/level like flame weapon/darkfire but as it is.. It's a +3 magic damage buff everytime I cast it and it's not unreasonable to assume I could make that +4 in the future. It's already a far stronger buff than any of the elemental weapon buffs for a 3rd level spell.
