[QUOTE="HeinorNY, post: 3034736, member: 16178"] WHile ago I thougt about some house rules like that, and I wonder if they really work. A few problems appeared. When you use a skill to cast spells, that skills becomes an obvious must for everyone, and all casters will maximize it. Why not instead create a kind of base caster bonus modified by the casting ability. Wizards will have an advantage over the other casters because he will still only need a high Int score, but the others will need a high Wis and Cha and also a high Int to cast the spells. Same happens with the concentration skill, a little less, because anyone needs a good Con. The other problem is with the loss of hit points is that it creates the situation where multiclassing into a barbarian, or being a dwarf makes you somehow a better spellcaster, and elves, the classic wizards, become weakling casters. And also, implementing another roll, and maybe even to more rolls to cast a spell can slow the game. I\\\'m totally in favor of a magic system that wearies the caster, but I want one that does not use HP nor more rolls. [/QUOTE]
