[QUOTE="triqui, post: 6025411, member: 57948"] I preffer that too. But... there's a problem for that from a designer point of view, specially with 5e design goal. There are people who WANT to play wizards as Vancian only, and would hate to have any kind of encounter powers -see the reactions to signature spells in some people- while there are others who WANT to have an AEDU structure in wizards. With the current approach, the DM can give each class a specific casting method, from those presented (for example, he can require that Wizards are allways Vancian, while Sorcerers are always spell points). OTOH, some other DM might allow every magic system for every class (some wizards use vancian -the "Order of Hermes" mages- while some other wizards use spell points -the "mentalists", or whatever-). Some other groups can choose to make all the spellcasters vancian, and some others can make all the spellcasters AEDU, or Spell Points, or whatever. It works for me, it covers all the bases. The question is IF they can pull it off. [/QUOTE]
