[QUOTE="ferratus, post: 5991147, member: 55966"] I'm against encounter powers for spells simply because that means I'd see the same spells show up over and over again at the start of the encounter. If we need spells that can be used frequently, just make scrolls cheaper to inscribe for these lower level and lower power spells, or allow them to research how to make a particular wand whenever they want to. The variant that I want is to get rid of "spell levels" altogether, and simply have all spells be allowed to scale up and down as needed. Likewise, I would probably mash up several spells to make a single spell. For example, feather fall, levitate, overland flight, and hover/fly in combat could all be a single spell at various character levels. But that (and the encounter refreshing) can wait for an optional module. We have to have the traditional Vancian caster for posters like Variant, who simply don't like variant classes. The basic book has to be very basic and traditional, so that some just complain about the advanced player's handbook, rather than 5e itself. [/QUOTE]
