Unwieldy? Yes, mainly because the double grunt of aiming for a spell level AND consideration of the DC - which is independent of the level (at least as I read it) - it only determines necessary successes and casting time.Khuxan said:From the work you've done so far on incantations, have you found their layout and mechanics unwieldy? That's the impression I've gotten from my experiments.
This has the by-effect, that most incantations get far too easy to make, at least in standard D&D, because the skill-DC is definitively made for d20 Modern (and even there, they get ridiculously easy on higher levels) - but E6 avoids this problem, due to the smaller span of levels/lower range of skill bonuses.
But I think the concept is a nifty thing for lower magic campaigns (as E6).
And for the format: Well, it is reminiscent of the original spell format, so it works for me. But it could be done better.
