[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7641318, member: 20564"] Stock D&D 5e isn't well positioned for this. There are some schools of magic that have almost no choice at some levels. Also there was no effort to "balance" schools of magic against each other like this - some will be a lot more and a lot less useful. If you want to do this, I suggest you make up your own types of magic separate from the schools, made up from spells from all the schools but fitting your new theme. (Including reskinning at time.) Like you might have a Fire school, and is has things like Fireball but also Fire Shield and Flame Blade and the Green Flame Blade cantrip. And maybe you reskin Misty Step as "Flame Step", and some crowd control spell in there as well. Foundational spells may end up in different schools, just reskinned as different types of magic for your setting. A force creator could have Mage Armor, but maybe a telekinetic has does as well, but with a slightly different way of achieving the same thing, and your cloth controller uses a reskinned version of turning normal cloth steel hard as well as having it parry and such. The other option is that there are likely other game systems that support this better. [/QUOTE]
