[QUOTE="Gadget, post: 7410667, member: 23716"] I'm just going to focus on what no else has commented on, namely MM's remarks about the current spell casting system (hopefully they weren't taken too out of context by the OP): I've long had misgivings about these very things, even setting aside psionics. I figured they were there to not make magic too easy or subtle, but I don't think they are necessary. Yes! Too bad they couldn't have come to this realization before they released 5e. I can kind of get behind this, though I think some of the spells go beyond a skill check. The system is kind of wish-washy about the whole thing. Which spells does non-detection protect against? See Invisibility? They could definitely make most of these spell a skill check/ritual type thing. Indeed. I have long thought along similar lines. This could be very interesting. There's really no need to have a visible hand appear as part of Mage Hand, for instance, just restrict it from interacting with creatures unless you're an Arcane Trickster. I can't wait for this. Similar to others' thoughts, I kinda feel a Sorcerer with a special spell list and meta-magic could handle the role better. [/QUOTE]
