Message: <blockquote data-quote="scruffygrognard" data-source="post: 5857045" data-attributes="member: 8313">Assuming characters advance from levels 1-20 and spells have 10 levels (let's say 1-10 rather than 0-9), how about the following?Characters can memorize and cast spells with a level equal to their class level/2 (rounded normally).  Levels 1-2:  1st level spellsLevels 3-4:  1st & 2nd level spellsLevels 4-5:  1st, 2nd & 3rd level spells...and so on, until...Levels 19-20:  1st-10th level spells.To minimize the number of spells memorized, give all casters 5 memorized spells per day.  They can choose to memorize any known spells... but will probably want to memorize a few lower level spells because:At 1st-4th level the caster may choose any two 1st level memorized spells.  They may cast these spells as often as they'd like.At 5th-9th level the caster may choose any two 1st or 2nd level memorized spell.  They may cast these spells as often as they'd like.At 10th-14th level the caster may choose any two 1st, 2nd or 3rd level memorized spells.  They may cast these spells as often as they'd like.At 11th-15th level the caster may choose any two 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th level memorized spells.  They may cast these spells as often as they'd like.At 16th-20th level the caster may choose any two 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th level memorized spells.  They may cast these spells as often as they'd like.This way spells have to be chosen wisely (resource management) but there are not 20+ spells memorized per day.</blockquote>
