[QUOTE="Keenberg, post: 5787246, member: 88833"] True. To me it felt like a realistic representation of powers scaling up, which is present in the revised system because as you level you get more dice (and therefore options to add cool effects to the spells.) I'll concede that point. infact, as I was writing the narrative, I felt like I was quite quickly becoming familiar with the mechanics. I consider this a good thing. Immersive. I like it. Really gets you into the shoes of the PC. hadn't considered the full repercussions of how spells would change with leveling. This point of yours brought it into perspective. Very cool. I wrote up the narrative to describe how the spell-casting process isn't actually simplified. Yes, the crunch is simplified, but not the combat practice. 4e: Here's your spells-pick one. Done. Revised: Time to cast a spell. Think it out for a while. Work through the steps. Consider a wealth of options before coming to your decision. Even if it came down making the choice between using one in my "spellbook" or crafting a new one, that is still more thought than with 4e, So, more complicated. Not a bad thing IMO, but a very neat option. I like that crunch disappears and options open up at the same time. [/QUOTE]
