I do love chaos, tell ya what.  You should see my story hour (link in sig) if you're into that kind of stuff- and I update several times a week.  [/pimp]Well, first of all, how do you roll higher than 100?  What modifies this roll?  That's a pivotal question; if a character can roll relatively high consistently (say, he has a +20 to his roll) he can consistently squeeze out extra damage and higher DCs and sometimes he even keeps the spell!  That's pretty cool- almost too cool.However, I think there's an easy way to make it work out: make the spell level increase two levels instead of one for Chaotic spells.  That might fix it right there.My experience- and I have an awful lot of it- with Chaos effects is, some of the time they throw the game's balance off.  Some of the time, not most of the time.  But they can, if you get someone with uncanny luck.Anyway, I like this one.And again, welcome to the boards- they're a generally friendly place!</blockquote>
