[QUOTE="Centaur, post: 1588067, member: 11822"] True, but thats still only 5 quickend spells in a day (or similar level mod) which I think would be a low number for a character of that level. Of course, L40 is a little bit beyond extream for most of the games that I play in. I think it's been over 15 years since I was in a game that had characters higher than 12th level... therefore my thoughts are aimed a little lower. 12th level wizard with a totla con bonus of +3/lvl will have on average 66 HP. His Quicken is going to cost him 24 hp. He's gonna be able to get off 2 (the third will likely kill him) in a day/fight. If he wants to use any other metamagic during the day/fight, he's pretty much limited to one quickened spell.... If you simply use 2*(Level Mod) then the Quickened spell costs 8 HPs. That means that the 12th level wizard above can launch 8 such spells while the L40 guy you mentioned could launch 50+. Of course at 40th level, he should be scary. [B]The other thing I'm not clear on however[/B] that may make a difference in this discussion is: Does your system allow for those points to be healed by magical healing? Your last post seemed to indicate that it does. If so, then your system may work as it would limit the uses per fight, but not per day! In my system, it must be healed by normal rest at the normal rates... [/QUOTE]
