It's more fun for the player, has the possibility of critting, cuts down on the number of saves the DM needs to make, and most importantly is simulationist - armor and shield HELP you resist things like firey rays and shocking grasps.SavesCharisma and Intelligence saves are sorely underepresented. Int saves for Illusions, and Cha saves for charms and compulsions, would be a good starting point to increase the relevance and frequency of these saves.HP ThresholdsI think in the absence of a better mechanic they work fine. However I really like the 'two strikes you're out' method as seen in the spell Stone to Flesh. In other words, the first failed save results in a round off being 'hindered' and the second save seals the deal with a permanent negative effect.ScalingThe built in metamagic scaling is brilliant. I hope it stays.RitualsI would like to see material components for the ritual versions of the spells. Unusual and costly material components are a good way to balance (ritual) spells and immersive at the same time.ConcentrationExcellent mechanic. Buff stacking is bad.Spell LevelsI agree that many spells need to be re-leveled. Making Gust of Wind a 1st level spell was a good start. Many spells are too weak for their level. A few seem too good.</blockquote>
