[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5230819, member: 29558"] This system looks really cool - I think I like it! I've got three campaigns running and am not inclined to institute major changes to them, but if/when they end I may just give this one a try! I do have one concern: I'm not really a powerhouse thinker when it comes to unanticipated effects of rules changes - one reason I don't use a lot of house rules. But on first reading it seems to me that this eliminates the strength that differentiates spontaneous casters (Sorcerer's in particular) from prepared casters. In fact it looks like it tips the scales strongly to prepared casters. The sorcerer's strength - when it comes to actual spellcasting - is the number of times they can cast per day. This is balanced by a very limited number of spells. Unless I missed something, this system allows wizards to cast with the same frequency as sorcerers (the same increasing chances of failure to concentrate) but still allows them a much wider selection of spells. Again, I'm not good with solving such problems so I'm afraid I don't have any helpful solutions - sorry about that. :erm: [/QUOTE]
