[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 3746773, member: 2804"] I did read somewhere that WotC confirmed "flipped" saves as defenses just like in Saga. But they will have AC also and it sounds like it will be separate from your Reflex defense which differs from Saga. I like flipped saves a lot. It would make combat go much faster, since a player casting a fireball for example, would just roll their magic attack roll and the DM could compare it to the Reflex Defense for all the opponents in range. Much faster than rolling for each monster or NPC. "Spell level" as we now know it will no longer exist. WotC people have said that "power level" of magic now corresponds with character level (although multiclassing may affect this). So likely, you will have a caster level bonus that will act as your magical attack bonus. WotC also said there will be "+6" wands. This implies to me at least that wands will boost a magical attack roll and makes them much more Harry Potter style. Given that all classes will now have "at-will" magical attacks it makes sense that charged magic items are no longer needed in the game. [/QUOTE]
