[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 7109778, member: 6669384"] First, should this work for spontaneous casters? (I know it doesn't, just asking if it should.) Second, after seeing that Pearl of Power is a fraction of the price of a Ring of Wizardry of the same level, what's the functional difference between a Wizard with several Pearls of Power and a Sorcerer? The Wiz has to prepare spells that become his/her "known spells" list for the day, but after that they can cast any of those spell as many times as they like, up to the number of Pearls they have for the level, plus one. Math wise: A Wiz can afford 20 1st level PoP for the price of a 1st level Ring of Wizardry. (PoP 1k, RoW 20k ) A wiz can afford 10 2nd level PoP for the price of a 2nd level Ring of Wizardry. (PoP 4k, Row 40 k) A Wiz can afford 7 3rd level PoP for the price of a 3rd level Ring of Wizardry (PoP 9k, RoW 70k) A Wiz can afford 6 4th level PoP for the price of a 4th level Ring of Wizardry (Pop 16k, RoW 100k) I could continue, but Rings of Wizardry stop at 4th level, and Pearls of Power don't. Ring of Wizardry double the spell slots for a given level, not counting bonus slots for ability. That generally means it can add up to four, since Wiz' don't get more than four spell slots at any spell level. Third question: At what point do POP qualify as "Broken"? [/QUOTE]
