[QUOTE="ggboostrom, post: 6013069, member: 76407"] [B]Spell Preparation by Class[/B] [INDENT] In this system, each class has slightly different rules regarding spell casting and preparation. The greatest benefit of this is that each class’s casting and preparation are defined using common mechanics, but each is unique in it’s style and flavor. This system is by far my favorite, because it takes the best ideas from the previous described systems and applies them specifically in a way that distinguishes each class from the others. [B]Wizards[/B] [LIST] [*]Wizards may prepare spells during combat, but they move at half their speed while doing so or can move at their full speed, but risk spell disruption. ‘Spell Preparation’ is an action. [*]Wizards prepare spells at a rate of one round per level. [*]Wizards may preparing a number of spell levels up to 1/2 their level. [*]Wizards are able to cast spells who’s levels are 1/2 their caster level or lower. Spells from a Wizards school of specialization counts as one level lower when determining if it can be cast. [*]Wizards may prepare one extra spell level for a spell from their school of specialization. [/LIST] [B]Sorcerer[/B] [LIST] [*]Sorcerers are able to cast a number of spell levels [I][I]equal to[/I][/I] their caster level. [*]Sorcerers are able to cast spells who’s levels are 1/2 their caster level or lower. [*]Sorcerers cast spells without preparation, but require a short rest to regenerate their spell casting ability. [*]Sorcerers have a limited repertoire of spells. [/LIST] [B]Cleric/Druid[/B] [LIST] [*]Clerics/Druids are able to cast a number of spell levels up to 1/2 their level. [*]Clerics/Druids are able to cast spells who’s levels are 1/2 their caster level or lower. Spells from the Cleric/Druid’s domain and healing spells count as one level lower when determining if it can be cast. [*]Clerics/Druids cast spells without preparation, but require a short rest to regenerate their spell casting ability. [*]Clerics/Druids may cast two extra spell levels for a healing or domain spell.
