[QUOTE="GameDoc, post: 6028621, member: 53915"] This is similar to how spells are addressed in True20. They aren't leveled, but some require you know a conceptually more rudimentary spell first. They actually function more like skills with higher DCs for larger or more comlex applications. For example, one spell, "fire shaping", covers the production of flame - everything from creating a small light source, to igniting flammable objects, to causing an existing fire to grow. There are similar "shaping"spells for each element. If you know any of the shaping spells, you can then learn the spell "elemental blast" and apply it to any element you can shape. This gives you burning hands, fireball, cone of cold, acid arrow, lightning bolt, etc. If you want more power, you ratchet up the DC. I'm not sure if that sort of system would be as flexible under bounded accuracy. Also, I think it would induce a level of grognard rage hence unseen because it's such a radical departure from traditional D&D. [/QUOTE]
