Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crazy Jerome" data-source="post: 5998969" data-attributes="member: 54877">I'm referring to the way that a wizard, cleric, or other full caster is generally considered to double in power each time he gains a new level of spells. It's fairly inexact, has exceptions (e.g. 7th caster level), and depends on both the higher level spells and the proliferation of lower-level slots. So it might not all apply to Next.  In your chart, the power increase is close enough to this ratio to keep casters getting a new level of spells every level up to 7th level. After that, though, the cumulative effects of how you toned down the power doubling rate begin to become too strong to ignore. So something has to be done to compensate, or casters cannot continue to get standard D&D spells every odd level past that point. As for KidSnide's point, part of the problem with the non-casters versus full-casters in 3E is that the ratio doesn't hold equally. It does trail off a little for casters at the higher levels, but trails off more and sooner for the non-casters. That said, rain on my analysis all you want.  I'm only throwing it out there to see if it sticks, intrigued by the difficulties of addressing Stalker's requirement in a way that I would find tolerable. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
