[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 6351129, member: 14506"] I also had these same concerns. I thought an interesting way to alter the spell chart to accommodate scaling spells would have been to give a caster 20 spell slots whether level 1 or level 20. What depended was which spell levels those slots were in. I made a chart but cannot port it in. Here are the highlights: Level 1 you get 20 1st level slots Level 20 you get 8 5th, 1 6th, 3 7th, 4 8th, and 4 9th You can always use an upper level spell slot for a lower level spell so there is no issue there. Handles the scaling exceedingly well. Where it breaks down is the power level of the 1st level slots they do very good damage. If they did more like 5e cantrip damage or damage like in 1e/2e/3e (MM 1d4+1, Burning hands 1d6, Shocking grasp 1d8 etc) then I think it would have been ok. With them doing 3dX they do too much for casters to have 20 slots up front. Basically 5e unlimited damage cantrip concept is encompassed in the 20 slots/day. A good thought experiment. [/QUOTE]
