So a Fireball costs 3 points to cast. Of course, spells have a level prereq, which is caster level /2 round up.These spell points refresh per Short Rest!The Short Rest spell points balance remarkably well. It is even possible to use points for high tier spells (providing the spell descriptions themselves balance better with each other in the same slot).A feat-built full caster is using feats to purchase spell points, spells known, and the ability to cast higher slot levels. Spells known is actually cheap. Its the points and the slot level access that are costly.It is easy to feat-build a character that chooses between martial feats and caster feats.</blockquote>
