[QUOTE="The Kender, post: 44039, member: 2598"] The Mana System v.01 Alpha This is my first attempt at a real serious Mana System. This is meant to supercede the one in the PHB. You can reply or send comments or questions to [email]ThornHighhill@Hotmail.com[/email] Finding MP Per Day: Every Spellcaster has a certain amount of Mana Points Per Day. You can find this number by consulting the PHB Spells Per Day. Every spell costs The Spell Level x 2. Cantrips and Orisons count as 1 point. Add up all the numbers to get your MP Per Day. A spell caster also gets their INT Bonus as bonus MP. Casting a Spell: A spell costs it's spell level x 2 to cast. Deduct this from your allowed MP Per Day. Cantrips and Orisons cost 1 pt of Mana. Spells Known: A Sorcerer and Bard still has spells known. Spells in Spellbook: A Wizard character still can only cast spells that are in his spellbook. Scribing Rules still apply. Specializing in a school: A Wizard may still specialize. He gets a second set of Mana that he can use just on spells from his specialty school. This bonus amount is the highest spell level the wizard can cast x 2. Metamagic Feats: A character can use a metamagic feat just like casting a higher level spell. Thus, a quickened charm person would be just like casting a 5th level spell. This means it costs 10 MP. The character must be able to cast a spell of at least the increased level. Metamagic feats never increase casting time. Prestige Classes: Prestige Classes that grant +1 Per Level increase the Mana per Day just like if another level in the spellcasting level had been gained. Sorcerers and Bards still get spells known as if they have leveled in their class. [/QUOTE]
