[QUOTE="DungeonMaester, post: 3353065, member: 44384"] First, I would like to take the time to thank EvilBob and every one else who has taking part in debating ideas I have brought to the table, from this, to the 'Advanced' 3.5, it's fun fun debunking myths and the rules behind them. Now, on to the fun part. I'm not a math major. On the contrary, Im a English major. So where is 9 points coming from for a 3d level spell? Is it a expansion from my rules? In mine, spells cost 1+spell level, so a 3rd level spell cost 4 points. In the first example where joe blow wizard had a a 19 int and a mana pool of 22, a 3rd level spell cost 4 points, leaving him with 18, not 12. This is, of course, unless I missed what the adaptation was from Bob's to mine. One difference between the two which is important to note though. In my Mana pool system, thee are feats to accompany this. For example 'Mana Battery' allows a player to once a day refill his mana pool equal to the bonus spells gained. Another one allowed you to take off one point from it would cost to cast a meta, but it does not change the spell level. (Four meta pre-req) My last note is this: As a Dm, its important to fully understand the rules before you change them. Or else you make your players suffer through another bad Spell Charge variant. :D ---Rusty [/QUOTE]
