[QUOTE="xXxTheBeastxXx, post: 5233315, member: 90543"] The easiest way to describe this is with an example. Let's imagine, for the sake of imagining, that you're a 5th level wizard. Based on the chart, you can prepare 4 0-level spells, 3 1st level spells, 2 2nd level spells, and 1 3rd level spell. With this system, you just choose your spells, effectively creating a daily "spell list", like the sorcerer has. Thus, you could choose: 0-Light, Daze, Acid Splash, Mage Hand 1-Shocking Grasp, Shield, Hold Portal 2-Scorching Ray, Resist Energy 3-Fireball You can now freely cast amongst these spells as if you were a spontaneous caster and these were your spells known. --- And concerning the issues with being able to cast less times in a given day, in the original idea for this system, the spellcasting DC only went up by 1 regardless of which spell tier you cast from. It was only after it was brought to my attention that people might exploit that to constantly spam high-level spells that I changed it to the tier system. My solution would be: choose whichever system works for you. If you have a mature group that wouldn't abuse the system, reduce it back to the "+1 per spell" system. If you've got some nasty powergamers, use the "tier" system and maybe teach them a lesson. I'll re-edit and put both systems on the post. Thank you, everyone, for your generosity and your input. This is what EN world is meant for. [/QUOTE]
