[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 5248550, member: 48520"] So part of your design goal is to have less spells per day than the vancian system? Because that's the main thing I see as a problem. I'm not saying they should be able to cast 9th level spells until they're blue in the face, but I think the wizard should be able to reliably cast 4 9th level spells per day at level 20 without a huge risk of failure. Maybe have probability at that point (for the 9th level spells) be like this: 95%, 90%, 80%, 65% (Set your DCs to be roughly based on the probabilities you want to see.) Unless you have seperate pools (maybe a few separate pools) you're going to run into the problem of spell points: either you can spam off mid level spells indefiniitely, or you have virtually no spells. One alternative could be to have set DCs for spells of each level. Then it really is like an attack roll, in that you can do it as much as you want so long as you can beat the DC. You'd want the DCs to get pretty high though. and probably still want a way to pull a couple of definite successful casts per day out of it. [/QUOTE]
