[QUOTE="Kevin O'Reilly, post: 605733, member: 8692"] Magic can be fatiguing. All Wizards need to roll a casting roll (Spellcheck) equal to 15+(2*spell level). Any failure means the spell succeeded, but the caster takes hit point damage equal to 2*spell level. Modifiers can make spell casting more difficult - in combat vs 1 opponent +2; two plus opponents +5. Casting in armor has further mods based on the armor check penalty. Any fail by 5-9 the caster is fatigued. Any fail by 10+ the caster is exhausted. This has a nasty cumulative effect. Also, in our campaign we play that criticals do "wound" damage directly to Constitution, and cause fatigue and exhaustion. Armor can absorb these wounds, so a spell caster is at serious disadvantages as it doesn't take much to fatigue a Wizard. It seems to work and keeps Wizards in check. As we heal hps per hour of rest, the super healing ability of clerics is less important, except to treat wounds. [/QUOTE]
