Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thain" data-source="post: 345519" data-attributes="member: 7215">Grimore CastingThis is an interesting idea, and in fact one you often see in the Fantasy genre. Examples of wizards casting directly from there spellbook range from some versions of the 'King Arthur' myth to Dragonlance novels to Mickey Mouse ('The Sorceror's Apprentice').  In my own campaign, which I'm in the process of creating, I'm going to allow it as a feat, which I have named 'Grimore Casting'.Basically it looks liek this:GRIMORE CASTING [metamagic]Insert nice fluff here.Prereq's: are the ability to prepare arcane spells from a spellbook, Int 13+, and 4+ ranks in Spellcraft.Benefit: You may cast a spell directly from a spellbook, without having prepared the spell in advance. To do so, the following conditiosn must be met; you must succeed at a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + 5/level of the spell) and the spell's casting time is three times that as normal.  Additionially, any Concentration checks made during the casting of the spell are made at a -4 penalty.Special: Everytime a spell is cast drirectly from a spellbook, via this feat, there is a culimative chance (10%+ 5%/level of the spell) that it will vanish rerevokably from the spellbook, consumed as if it were a scroll. IMPROVED GRIMORE CASTING [metamagic]Insert similar fluff here.Prereq's: are the ability to prepare arcane spells from a spellbook, Int 13+, and 9+ ranks in Spellcraft, and Grimore Casting [`natch].Benefit: You may cast a spell directly from a spellbook, without having prepared the spell in advance. To do so, the following conditiosn must be met; you must succeed at a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + 5/level of the spell) and the spell's casting time is TWICE normal.  You DO NOT suffer any Concentration check penalities from this feat.Special: Everytime a spell is cast drirectly from a spellbook, via this feat, there is a culimative chance (10%+ 5%/level of the spell) that it will vanish rerevokably from the spellbook, consumed as if it were a scroll.   Well, what does everyone think?</blockquote>
