[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5787724, member: 59506"] I choose "Other". Since they're planning a stripped down basic game which can have complexity added on, I'd say this: [LIST] [*][B][U]At-wills, Encounters, Dailies, and Rituals for the base version.[/U][/B] - It isn't my preferred system, but it's likely the easiest for new gamers and stripped down, simple rules. [*][B][U]Vancian and Spell-Points as add-ons.[/U][/B] - To me, both have the same level of complexity, but different focuses (Vancian is variously considered a specific genre type of magic, or in play a more gamist mechanic; Spell-Points are good for modeling other fiction premises and more simulationist play-styles). [*][B][U]The Star Wars SAGA Force System[/U][/B] adapted for magic (as an add-on). - I think this system works really well for cinematic and narrativist type games. I'd really like to see it adapted for use in 5E. [/LIST]:) [/QUOTE]
