[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8515143, member: 22779"] By the same token, Casting in D&D doesn't necessarily have casting. Meta magic allows for silent casting, still casting and eschew material from 3e ignored components for the most part. And, frankly, only wizards have a spell book, everyone else casts magic as an innate ability or something granted to them by some sort of "power". I guess this is why I just don't really get it. If the magic system in D&D has no problems incorporating magic that comes from a god, magic that comes from internal bloodlines, magic that comes from some sort of "power" and magic that comes from learning, then why does magic that comes from your brain need an entirely new system? New class? Sure, I can totally see that. No worries there. But new system? Just for this? It seems rather extreme. And, considering the way the wind is blowing with the release of the Monsters book from WotC, more complicated is not a direction they seem to be heading. If anything, I think you will see a lot of simplification in the game mechanics in the next five years. [/QUOTE]
