[QUOTE="NN, post: 9724869, member: 4770"] Im mulling over three changes to Shadowdark 1. Spellbooks Wizards and Witches have spellbooks. The normal spell table shows the number of spells they can have in their head at any one time. They select which spells they want from the spellbooks they own. A book is a slot (Perhaps mighty tomes are more) Copying a spell into another book is DC9+Tier check and costs a few go x tier Scrolls are one shots that are Dc12 + tier and more expensive to create Scrolls are basically created for 4 reasons: -So minions can go do a task remotely -so henches can cast as well and overwhelm [LIST] [*]as backups for essential spells [*]for obscure spells that arent worth a brain slot [/LIST] A spell on a scroll can also be copied to a book but that uses up the scroll i think this will overall help wizards and witches at lower levels and weaken them slightly at higher. And create a tradeoff between mission focus and versatlility. 2. Priests choose which spells they pray for each rest. Spells counter to the gods ethos may be denied or scrutinized [I]Have i missed some terrible game destroying comsequences?[/I] (Im not having any other casting classes) 3. Any advice moving to 9 point alignment? i cant see any issues. [/QUOTE]
