Sure, I will when I get home from work tonight.

We already do this as well and have been for about two years. Frankly, it just makes more sense IMO. FWIW, we also make it an Attack action so you can combine it with Extra Attack or as an attack outside of your turn (if applicable).

It isn't the quantity (number of spellcasters), but the setting itself (many high-level casters, powerful magic items and/or magical sites, etc.) that indicates a low-med-high magic game. Feel free to make your own judgement on a different standard, of course.

True, but it isn't HIGH magic, either, which is what you want with fighters hitting fireballs for a triple-play. So, too bad to you! :P ;)

It would have required about 8-10 checks IIRC, but given the PC's +10 modifier (5th level, expertise, DEX 18), an 11 or better (minimum 1 roll) beat the bullywugs passive perception of 10, so I never asked for a single roll. ;) While I get your point, I think you exaggerate a bit. ;) Depends...

I'm trying to avoid the extra bookkeeping, but there's nothing wrong with the concept otherwise.

Good suggestions, thanks!

Agreed. Again, I need to point out the whole "no magic on a 1" is a current OPTION to discuss, try out, see how it works, etc. and play with. It might remain, it might get tossed out, it might get revised. I am aware of the potential pitfalls, but until I try it out, I won't know how it plays...

Yes, it is for a low-magic setting. But how would I keep spell slots without it being redundant?

FWIW, the above table is for full-casters only. Half-casters and third-casters have different progressions, so will be affected as well--they will definitely notice the difference. If true, then it will solve one problem for at least some years. ;)

No, you have it correct. There are no spell slots, but the concept of Mystic Arcanum for 6th+ level spells is still an option in which recharge would only affect cantrips to 5th level spells (unless a 1 is rolled, in which case even Mystic Arcanum would not be viable until a rest). Out of...

Probably without some option to reverse it, such as gaining a level of exhaustion or expending a HD. But it is just an option to consider--not set in stone by any margin currently. :) Hmm... not really. Round 1: cast spell with recharge on 5-6 Round 2: roll 1-4 = 67% Round 3: roll 1-4 again =...

ROPE RULEZ!!!! YEAH!! :D Minimum 10 feet (for Rope Trick), and up to 100 feet (for strong PCs who can carry the extra weight). But the standard 50 feet works for most cases. Boy, all the time. Rope for helping in climbing, rope for tying up captives, rope for making traps, rope to hold up my...

If it was going to involve a level of exhaustion (certainly a nice idea!) I would simply allow the recovery of magic--no roll needed. That isn't how the concept works. You roll according to the spell you just cast. For example, at 7th level if you cast fireball, your recharge number is 6. If...

First of all, I would like all to understand this isn't a concept that has been tried out and was only today discussed with one of my groups. So, I cannot answer how it actually plays or what people think of it in actual game-play yet. I don't know if we'll ever even try it, but I found the...

First, I love the concept of the recharge mechanic, so for several months now my Saturday group has been using the Recharge mechanic for cantrips. In other words, if you cast a cantrip, to cast a cantrip on your next turn you have to roll a successful recharge (a 5 or 6 on the d6). It has been...
