[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5784675, member: 7883"] I'm not super keen on the idea of Vancian Magic. I *like* the spell system of 2E and 3E, and dislike that of 4E. But I could do without "fire and forget". A spell point or spell build system would be cool....but I don't think we'll get it in 5E. It would likely be judged too difficult. But something that mixes the existing spell system with something more flexible, like the Magister from Arcana Unearthed (by Monte Cook) would be nice. I really like that model. You still have to have your caster memorize spells....but instead of spells being used up when cast, you just have spell slots that you then pick from your memorized spells at the moment of casting. So, I might have 3 1st lvl spells per day....and I memorize Magic Missile, Sleep, Colour Spray and Charm Person (for instance). I could then cast 3 magic missiles, 2 magic missiles and a charm person, 2 charms, a sleep and a colour spray, etc. It's all decided at the moment of casting. I guess that would eliminate the need for a sorcerer.....or the sorcerer would change into something else. Banshee [/QUOTE]
