All total including 1 st level mages you have 62 people. And 62 cleric types .So total spell casters is 124 .Which works out about half of 1 %. Or 1 spell caster per 202 subjects. Add in paladins who spell cast. You get three more bodies. One is going to 15 th level and 2 of seventh level. Total 127. About a hair of half of 1%. Or 1 spell caster every 197 subjects. Now your militia is around Warriors 1,130 Add in all fighter types 108 Add in monks 16 Add in rogues 31 Add clerics and mages 124 Total army 1,409 people. With a hair over 11 % being spell caster and 3 of those are paladins. 11.094488 So drop the paladins out of the mix still 11% have spells. 11.36. Ok what is the number of spells available per day Sorcerer/wizard Zero level 113 /60 = 173 First level 55 /56 = 111 Second level 19/11 = 30 Third level 8 /10 = 18 Fourth 6 /8 = 14 Fifth 4 /4 = 8 Sixth 3/3 = 6 Seventh 2/3 = 5 Eight 1 /2 = 3 368 arcana more if you teach use the bards. Could someone post those numbers? Now for the divine Cleric / Druid Zero level 118/118 = 236 First level 88/57 = 145 Second Level 28/21 = 49 Third level 14/11 = 25 Fourth level 12/9 = 21 Fifth level 9/6 = 15 Sixth 5/4 = 9 Seventh 4/3 = 7 Eight 4/3 = 7 Nine 3/2 = 5 519 divine about 6 more if you include the 3 paladins.
