Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest 7037866" data-source="post: 9393564">Well, that is more the concept behind a "spell point" system, so if you have the points for a 5th-level spell, you obviously would have the points for a 2nd-level spell.Agreed. At least when under pressure (like in combat), you should have to roll. They question becomes, are there any other consequences for failure besides the spell fizzles?LOL man you would probably have LOVED a system I worked on about 20 years ago! Every spell was unique as casters had to design their spells. Once designed, a spell could be replicated or taught to another.You chose every aspect of the spell: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">focus (combat, movement, transformation, etc.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">source (fire, animal, darkness, etc.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">range (in feet)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">area/targets</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">etc.</li> </ul>Each choice would affect how easily the spell could be cast and how much drain it forced on the caster. The more powerful spell-builds could knock out a PC or even kill them if successfully cast!I'll never forget one time when we had a player design a water/movement spell which had a large enough affect to capsize an enemy vessel in the ocean. The character ended up falling unconscious, but saved the day. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
