[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 6125620, member: 14506"] Call me old school, I am firmly in the magic is automatic boat. No to hit rolls for fireball or charm person please. I also want touch spells to be automatic to hit. The interesting thing about spells is not if they hit or not (or successfully activate like you are proposing above) but if the save defends against the magic. For instance, ray of enfeeblement should auto hit but the targeted person should try and resist the effects of the magic. "Hitting" is not what I care about with spellcasters, effecting is what I care about. Leave the hitting to the warrior types. That said I do not completely dismiss your idea. I think this would be the preferred way to handle it. No "hitting" but instead successfully activating. You could also have modifiers to your activation roll for every spell you have up, for if you are fatigued, exhausted, and so on... I think it is a valid option to use instead of spell slots. That said, I think base D&D 5e needs to use spell slots and lose the spell from memory style vancian magic. [/QUOTE]
