Message: <blockquote data-quote="Satori" data-source="post: 3944467" data-attributes="member: 37233">Alright!  I finally took a few minutes to finish my mini-magic system.Casters get 8 + STR Bonus HP per level, spells cost 1 + level HPCasters choose the level of their spell.  Minimum levels are listed. See magic categories.  DC = Spell Level + MIND bonus. Duration = 1 round/level or one encounter or one day (per DM).Specialization: Casters may specialize in a single Category, lowering the HP cost by 1.  They must then select another category that will be prohibited to them.Mage Categories:-Damage: Automatic hit, save for half, choose energy type, inflicts 1d6 per caster level. Spell level = Number of Damage Dice/2 (rounded up)-Control: 1st-Half Movement, 2nd-Held (Not Helples), 3rd-Helpless, 4th-Confusion, 5th-Wall, 6th-Anti-Magic, 7th-Teleport, 8th-Polymorph, 9th-Time Stop-Charm: 1st-Charm Person, 2nd-Sleep, 3rd-Suggestion, 4th-Charm Monster, 5th-Dominate Person, 6th-Geas, 7th-Banish, 8th-Dominate Monster, 9th-Power Work:Kill-Summon: Same round action, summons 2 CR per spell level, creature acts on caster initiative.Cleric Categories:-Heal: Heal 2d8+Caster Level per Spell Level, 3rd-Restoration, 6th-Max HP, 7th-Resurrection. +2 Spell Level for Mass (all allies).-Buff: +2 Attack/Damage/AC/Saves/Skills per Spell Level, +2 Spell level for Mass (all allies).-Holy: Automatic hit, no save, Holy damage, inflicts 1d8 per caster level.  Only affects Undead/Outsiders. Spell level = Number of Damage Dice/2 (rounded up).-Create: Summon 50 GP worth of non-magic, non-living items per spell level. ---This is a BARE BONES, basic spell system for casters.  This is supposed to work as a skeleton for whatever type of caster a player wants.  Of course, new schools can be created per DM and player.The above is supposed to allow a player to customize their casting style in whatever manner they want WITHOUT having to create new spells/schools for specific niches.Want a blast happy Evoker? -Specialize in Damage, remove Charm, use Fire type for your Damage spells, give energy types to your Control spells, use elementals for your Summon spells.Want a dark, creepy Necromancer?-Specialize in Summon, remove Charm, use Negative type for your Damage spells, select Undead for your Summon spells, give necromantic flavor to your control (Wall of Bones, etc...)Want a standard, heal-bot cleric?-Specialize in Heal and remove Holy.Want a Paladin style cleric?-Specialize in Buff or Holy and remove Create.---Of course, some of this seems overpowered (Buff: +2 to everything per spell level?? ZOMG!), but I'll have to playtest it to see what works and what doesn't.In particular, I'm curious as to how this will work in Play by Post...which tends to seriously lag under standard 3.x ED rules.  I'm also SERIOUSLY interested in "Players Roll All Dice", which will require some playtesting as well.Thanks again for putting this out there!</blockquote>
