[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 2117404, member: 70"] I KNOW I'm supposed to be critiquing the proposal on it's own merits, but...preparing a spell isn't like memorizing a vocabulary list. It's like loading a gun. Even if you've shot it a thousand times, you still need to load bullet one thousand and one. That said, I don't think anything's inherently wrong with your proposal. It's a buffed up version of what characters can already do, namely leave a spell slot open and take 10 minutes to prepare a spell into it during the day. The skill should either be Knowledge (Arcana/Religion) or Spellcraft, since the two aren't the same. I would make the DC 20 + (spell level x2), since skill ranks will rise much faster than spell levels, and institute or clarify a critical failure rule -- on a roll of 1, you automatically lose the slot for the rest of the day. It's not hard for a 10th level caster to have a +20 in Spellcraft or Knowledge (Arcana/Religion). Cheers Nell. [/QUOTE]
