[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5774020, member: 52734"] I like this idea a lot. The wizard has his slots, and he can choose both which spell he wants in each slot and how "repeatable" it will be. With 5 slots, picking 5 dailies might get you some powerful stuff, but that's only 5 uses throughout the [I]whole[/I] adventure; more likely the player will pick a mix of at-will, encounter and daily abilities. (though it kinda does have the mana point problem - blow everything on the biggest guns). This also allows you to fit your character to the D&D version you want to emulate; if you want to emulate 1E & 2E, dailies versions of a spell are the only available option. For 3E, it would be dailies unless you wanted to emulate something akin to the Warlock. For a Pathfinder-like game, certain low-level spells might be at-wills or encounters and everything else dailies. 4E emulation would be a mix of all three. <Edit> An additional option would the "open" slot, that the wizard can keep free to fill with any spell from his repitoire. This needs some sort of regulation however, so the wizard doesn't turn into the Universal Tool For Every Problem. I would suggest something like moving the spell in that slot to the next longer recharge - At-Will would become Encounter, Encounter would become Daily, couldn't put a Daily into the slot (or the reverse, could only put an Encounter or Daily into the slot and a short "wait" time to build up to its use).
