I tried the Fibonacci approach and found it impossible to gain any reasonable accessibility to the highest spell levels without gaining too much availability of lower level spells than I wished for.This will get you into places you’ll find hard to maneuver.What if the caster becomes fatigued for other reasons, can he still cast spells? If so, how do you intend to track the different causes and decide when he can cast and when he can’t?Add exhaustion and it becomes even more complicated. That’s why I used a different condition “Overtaxed”.You should ask yourself if this change will have any impact on your game.ATM, I don’t see that it will – which would make this ado redundant (unless you’re seeing something I don’t).I wrestled with the mechanics to make this concept work (with the Fibonacci accumulation), but it just became more and more cumbersome.Look, I understand exactly where you’re coming from, but insisting on this approach will come at an expense of enjoying the game, and a conceptual ideal just aint worth it.Furthermore, in retrospect, Strain & Tolerance turned out to represent exactly what I wanted it to represent.The more experienced you are at spellcasting, the less you suffer consequences for casting a level [X] spell.While I can see why you'd find it to make sense for higher level effects to require more "energy", I just regard it as learning to better exploit (to a higher efficiency) the energies involved in a level [X] spell.</blockquote>
