[QUOTE="Kafen, post: 5435539, member: 11273"] Hmm, I am a long time fan of Mutants and Masterminds and BESM. If I read the bit correctly, I would say... You could use a point based system that feeds into a Tier system. Caster(s) -> Power Pool which gives two stats. It provides the casters with a set boost in power and secondary Tier limits on what they can cast. For example, you could have five casters putting ten points of power into a pool for fifty points. Each caster could cast spells and add on +5 power points for each caster in the pool. It would unlock a set Tier of powers. Tier A: 30 points (Simple potions, enchants, and making dog food aka utility magic) Tier B: 60 points (Defense spells, Combat Spells) Tier C: 90 points (Curses, Polymorph, and Minor Demons) Tier D: 120 points (End of World Stuff) Caster Rank Rank 1: Novice Rank 2: Pointy Shoe wearing Acolyte Rank 3: Wizard Rank 4: Big Bad Guy Such a system would operate entirely independent of actual class and level.
