Shadowmage HIPS before 20.

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:
- implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
- the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
- the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

Shadowmage HIPS before 20.

Instead of level 20 wizard or Sorcerer, why not somewhere in the teens?

It seems kind of a long investment for a shadow based class to have such a core ability lock in after 20 levels.

The class already gives up the class's primary source of damage at early levels, unless conjuration based, while gaining bonuses to schools that are weaker at low levels.

Not to mention that the class gains zero class benefits to hide or move silently despite being themed as such.

Hide in plain sight sooner makes a lot of sense.
