[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 1636438, member: 5202"] So I was finally looking at the new version of the spreadsheet and wondered a couple of things: 1)If the guy who made that formula for converting spell levels is cool with it (and I think you said he is) why not go ahead and wrap that in as an extra page? 2)Why is the Cleric not getting the Turn Undead ability until 5th level? 3)I really like the fact that you have atable explaining the choices at the top of the character pages. Makes much more sense instead of trying to guess what each level of purchasing really means. 4)For those interested, here is a mana system: Bonus mana points are given based on the Attribute table, with 0 level spells providing 1 extra mana point each. 0 level spells can be cast freely at no cost, however, healing magic of 0 level can only be utilized on the same person 3 times per day. You receive one point for each spell level you are able to cast. So an 18 Intelligence would give 1 bonus spell of 0-4th level. A 3rd level caster would only gain the benefit of the 0-2nd level spells (total of 4 extra points) while the 7th level caster would receive the full 11. (Note:I'll decide on a mana regeneration rate later. Want to look at a few different systems to decide. Easy version is do the math to see what percentage of your points has regenerated yet and drop all fractions and say that many have recovered.) (Note:These tables will show additional points each level, rather than the ongoing total, also the spells readied at one time table is still used with this system) Half Caster: 1 2 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 2 6 2 7 1 8 4 9 3 10 2 11 5 12 4 13 3 14 7 15 5 16 4 17 9 18 6 19 5 20 11 Full Caster: 1 4 2 2 3 2 4 3 5 4 6 5 7 5 8 8 9 7 10 10 11 9 12 13 13 12 14 16 15 15 16 19 17 18 18 22 19 11 20 22 I'm debating that casters get their spell attribute bonus per level as well (or maybe half of it for half casters) but I'm not sure if that woul be unbalancing.
