[QUOTE="ren1999, post: 6028173, member: 85179"] I don't like the idea of 1st level spells being worthless when the caster reaches higher levels. Spells should increase in power. Here are just a few of many ideas I have for doing that. Spell casters sacrifice hit points when leveling up so they must have a rewarding trade-off in the form of doing greater base damage. Fire Spells do 2d4 + ongoing damage. Lighting Spells do 2d6 damage + stun condition. Cold Spells do 2d8 damage. The damage does not increase but if the spell caster were to get an additional standard action every 5 level-ups, he or she could cast 5 fire balls at the same target or at different targets. Only one target can be charmed per caster's turn. Only one burst spell may be cast per the spell caster's turn. The radius of the burst increases by 5 feet every 5 level-ups.
