[QUOTE="ZombieRoboNinja, post: 6343622, member: 54843"] I find it extremely likely that in the default rules, converting sorcery points to spell slots and back is not completely lossless, meaning that you couldn't just convert the spells/day chart into sorcery points and use that. This would indeed be a very easy module or house-rule, just as converting any 5e class to spell points would be quite easy (perhaps by using the Warlock kludge where level 6-9 spells are counted separately, to keep you from just using all your spell points to cast Meteor Swarm five times in a row). But it would certainly require DM agreement, which (a) isn't always possible or practical, especially in one-shot adventures, and (b) isn't something that new players would know about, meaning there is no way in the PHB to play a caster who doesn't have to wade through an 80-page alphabetical list of spells and keep track of an Excel chart of spell slots if he wants to kill things with fire rather than with swords. I just find it ridiculous that WOTC faced a violent rebellion if people were "forced" to play a fighter who knew a dozen distinct maneuvers at level 20, but nobody except me is asking to play a simple mage.
