Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elon Tusk" data-source="post: 7108691" data-attributes="member: 6875235">The idea of a class that can only cast a single spell was mentioned on this forum months ago as a possible new class.I thought it was clever and started thinking about how to create that, but I'm getting stuck - as one might expect with such a limited toolbox - and need help.Utility, flexibility, and variety are sacrificed for intensity, specificity, and focus.I'm thinking that aspects of spell casting can be varied as the class increases so that such things as time, range, components, duration, area of effect, intensity/damage, and number effected improve.I think having more control of the singular-focused spell could also mean gaining abilities for that spell like:- detect it [if it is in a spell book, on a scroll, memorized by a caster], - have resistance to it then immunity to it then counter spell it, - alter it when others cast it, etc.The singular spell, I think, could be from any class spell list. BUT HERE IS THE BIG ISSUE:Do I limit the choice of spell to lower level spells? If so, what level(s)?If not, how can one nerf a Wish or anything of the higher ilk at first level?What kind of mechanics could make this work?I'd love some brainstorming!Thanks in advance.</blockquote>
