Retiering the Classes: Archivist, Artificer, Cleric, Druid, Sha'ir, and Wizard

[Zanos]

I am absolutely certain no one has ever at any point played an Artificer with stacked crafting reductions to reach 1:10 ratios in a game that wouldn't have also allowed a Tainted Necropolitian Wizard or a level 2 Entry Beguiler/Rainbow Servant with spontaneous casting off the Cleric list at level 11, or arbitrarily large Planar Bound Armies.

I'm pretty sure you're the only one throwing around 1:10 ratios as an example. 1:5 was the best ratio I proposed and I admitted that wasn't likely. 1:4 is pretty easily justifiable, though.
