[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8253424, member: 27996"] The tell-all book I want to read would be all about the rise and fall of 4e. Especially the juicy bits about the internal reaction and fallout when pathfinder started to outsell 4e. Then we can read about all the internal politicking that lead up to who got to be in charge of 5e. That would be a sweet and juicy tale indeed! Functionally the ‘spell slot’ is a spell point system on a 1:1 spend per spell. By level of course. And that’s spell level which has no correlation with your characters level; because D&D. Whereas any other game not trying to pretend that they are still doing some kind of Vancian casting would have the spell level be the same as your casters character level. You would get “magic points” similarly to how you get hit points, and higher level spells would cost more magic points to cast than lower level ones. And of course you can fiddle around how they refresh through rests or hit dice expenditure. With some spells being able to be “powered up” by spending more magic points or even hit points for certain spells. A more straightforward way of doing magic. But it will never happen. Because people will complain: “That’s not D&D!” [/QUOTE]
