1st and 2nd Ed. Spells for 4th Ed.

[the Jester]

Frankly, I think you're complicating as much as you're simplifying, but YMMV.

10 hp/level is WAY over the top for 4e. That's about the only constructive thing I can offer, I think you're changing too much for me to really have a clue what's going on there.

 

[the-golem]

the Jester is right. If you're converting spells from 1e/2e to 4e, one probably should change things from rolling to static bonuses. instead of 1d4 for Mage Armor, for example, a static +2. Also, levels should be noted, and what type of spell they are, utility, encounter, daily, etc.

Also, 10HP/lvl for a Fighter/Wizard is way too strong. At max you'd get as much as a normal fighter, which is 6HP/lvl.

Honestly, it's a little confusing as to what you're doing, exactly.


[MENTION=1210]the Jester[/MENTION]: Not a horrible idea, per se. Maybe someone could evolve this similar to your monster project

Thanks. I'm taking your suggestions under advisement.

[FONT=&quot]I want to make each spell attractive enough for players to learn but I don't want the spells to be too powerful.

[ren1999]

The Fighter Wizard class I'm creating may learn 5 new spells(including utilities, rituals) or feats(or exploits as I define them) per level-up.

 

[the-golem]

Formatting is a bit hard on the eyes, all the spells kinda blend together. You might look at converting some of these into rituals.

I don't really have much experience on this though, so I'll just keep my mouth shut

 

[Noctos]

I want to make each spell attractive enough for players to learn but I don't want the spells to be too powerful.

i always made my players spend money and time crafting there own spells if they wanted it diffrent.


(looking over most of this a lot seems to have changed since 2nd edition it hurts my brain to think out out dated i am.
