[QUOTE="Quartz, post: 7120110, member: 40552"] I was reading yet another of the Short Rest / Long Rest threads and had an idea, riffing off the Warlock... Suppose spell memorisation for primary spellcasters were changed to this: Spell Memorisation: when the spellcaster takes a Short Rest or a Long Rest, the spellcaster may rememorise a number of spells equal to their Proficiency Bonus with total spell levels no more than their class level. If the spellcaster is taking a Short Rest, the maximum spell level rememorisable is equal to their Proficiency Bonus. Example: a first level spell caster has a Proficiency Bonus of +2 so may rememorise two spells but is only first level so may only rememorise one spell (of first level). Example: a 12th level spellcaster has a Proficiency Bonus of +4 and is taking a Short Rest so may rememorise up to 4 spells of up to 4th level with no more than 12 total levels. E.g. two 2nd level spell, one 3rd level, and one 4th level. (The odd level is lost) Example: a 12th level spellcaster has a Proficiency Bonus of +4 and is taking a Long Rest so may rememorise up to 4 spells with no more than 12 total levels. E.g. two 2nd level spell, one 3rd level, and one 5th level. Example: a 20th level spellcaster has a Proficiency Bonus of +6 and is taking a Short Rest so may rememorise up to 6 spells of up to 6th level with no more than 20 total levels. E.g. one 6th level spell, two 5th level spells, and a 5th level spell. Example: a 20th level spellcaster has a Proficiency Bonus of +6 and is taking a Long Rest so may rememorise up to 6 spells with no more than 20 total levels. E.g. one 9th level spell, one 8th level, and one 3rd level. I've yet to work out secondary spellcasters but I'm thinking of keeping the Proficiency bonus mechanic but halving the number of spell levels (so a 20th level Paladin could rememorise 10 levels of spells). I haven't thought about spontaneous casters at all. Nor multiclass characters. The Short Rest / Long Rest distinction is necessary to avoid high-level casters rememorising the big guns. How would that affect D&D? [/QUOTE]
