Heh, 2024 deleted the 2014 spell point system because it hurt the eyes. It was weirdly and unnecessarily complicated. Impracticable. I...

They offered that in 2014 and removed it from 2024 because it’s hard to balance. Spellcasting is built around spell levels being...

I wouldn't have a problem using a points system for the Psion. It was used when psionics first came out and was one of the things that...

Not quite. 3e they mostly did that, but more than a few abilities had nuances that the spells didn't have. Charm for example could be...

The camera conveniently crops his hands out of the picture so we don't know if he's wiggling his fingers or not. He does, however, close...
