[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 5234027, member: 48520"] I think I like Dammitbiscuit's adjustment. It makes you still have to consider using your high level spells vsa low level, regardless of what level you actually are, whereas before, a 5th level wizard could spam 3rd level spells or first level spells at equal difficulty. Why use magic missile when fireball is better? I'd suggest instead of it being half increase by one, half increase the DC by two, and the highest level increases the DC by three: make it: 1/3 of your spell levels the top third by 3. then Half of what's left increase the DC by 2 and the remainder increase the DC by +1. With 9 spell levels, this gives you your 1-3, 4-6, 7-9. if you can only cats 1st to 3rd though, you get 1, 2, 3 if you can cast 4th, you get 1-2,3,4 for the categories As the basics of the system, I think it's great, so long as you scale up the DCs.like I suggested. Something needs to be done to change it so you can cast closer to as many spells as you could with the spells per day method. Possibly ways to re-decrease the DCs, with guidelines, and have it be available with different limits depending on levels in caster classes. Maybe have it be a score that increases like BAB. I think this would combine well with Trailblazer's spellcasting rules. I'm not a fan of their system of all casters get all spells on their lists though, but other than that, I can get behind their unified spellcasting mechanics. [/QUOTE]
