I'd go with a massive flat penalty: -1 spell slot per -1 of ability penalty for every spell level you can cast. It's brutally punishing, but at least it sucks evenly. -blarg

I signed up for Snips, Snails a while ago, and I'm amazed at how much stuff I'll be getting with that one book. :)

As long as you make casting stat penalties remove spell slots appropriately, I think you're good to go.

In the Eberron game I haven't DMed for far too long, closer to the kitchen sink. In the Pathfinder E6 Dark Sun game I play in, it's quite restricted. I'm fine with the full run of the spectrum. What I don't like is when the goalposts get moved around by changing what's allowed and what's not...

The Umbral Regent.

Oh man, get that book. It's fun, useful, and interesting!

You can use any 3.5 WotC book? Mix in Book of Nine Swords. One level of crusader will give you access to the Iron Guard's Glare stance. Just leave it on forever, and any opponent adjacent to you takes a -4 penalty to attack anyone other than you. -blarg

I'll try that line on my wife. I'll let you know how it goes. -blarg

Trading module. Options for players to run caravans taking goods from one place to another. E6 module. Nuff said. Mage duel module. This design space could be deeply entertaining, especially when you consider school vs school, or even magic vs psionics.

Wow, the confession was hilarious and unexpected. Love it.

Romantic tension should never be followed by a broken sword.

The OP has some interesting ideas. I particularly like the notions of Constitution-based magic and spell-making with seeds and forms. A+! -blarg

I still maintain that the mystical powers in the Belgariad are vastly closer to psionics than magic. Psionics and fantasy taste just fine together. Psionics must be made a part of 5e, but with an easy toggle switch to either include or exclude them. If the switch was a dial, it'd be even...

Healing surges are basically just a variant on reserve points. Both of those systems have interesting effects on gameplay, which is beneficial for certain campaign styles. As such, I think they'd both make fine additions to the 5e equivalent of Unearthed Arcana (and the 5e SRD as well). -blarg

After recently completing our 3-year 4e campaign, we're coming up on 20 sessions of our E6 Pathfinder game in Dark Sun. LOVE IT. We've imported a couple of 4e-isms that make our lives easier, such as the lovely standard action charge rule. Apparently, we're also doing concealment as a flat...

"Those aren't gods - they're just particularly large chunks of XP!"

Atheists in D&D? They made their will save to disbelieve. -blarg

Your character has achieved infinite oregano. Congratulations, you've won at D&D! ...you become the DM and get to devise the next deathtrap. When the next hapless reader falls to your trap, it will then be that unfortunate soul's chance to take out the next reader.

I absolutely love the first time I use an ability the DM doesn't know I have. The expression of "oh my god, you do what?" on his face is a pure delight. :) -blarg

Woah.
