[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6663933, member: 1465"] Definitely. I don't think you should use a regular character sheet, there is way too much on it. Rather, use a simple summary of special stuff her character can do (the list of her spells, in this case, with the spell's name and a one-line description of it). She doesn't need to know the rules behind the actions, it's easier to just ask her what she wants to do, and then if needed tell her "to see if you succeed, roll this dice and you have to score at least XX". And for spells, forget about the details, just let her creatively decide what to do with them, and then tell her if it works or not. So if she wants to turn on the fireplace with a fire spell that technically targets only creatures, avoid the b*:):):):) of RAW and let her do it. And when sometimes you decide that something shouldn't work, if she's disappointed try to tell her that "her wizard is still learning how these spells work!". No, vancian magic is not a problem at all. It's very easy for a child to understand "you can only cast your spells 3 times, so choose wisely". [/QUOTE]
