Message: <blockquote data-quote="Uber Dungeon" data-source="post: 6253965" data-attributes="member: 87133">I just recently read a few threads about skill based spell casting, Including a few Anime based rpgs with that sort of spell casting. I discussed it with my group and we are going to use a skill based spell casting, I wanted to keep it simple.What we discussed. -All Spell levels (1st-9th) would be available to a first level wizard. Who could buy a scroll or find some way of getting said spell into there Spell book.-You would be unlimited in how meany spells you could cast per day.-The skill check would be Spell craft DC: 10+spell level Squared, There would be no penalty on a successful check. (I noticed that skill casting systems have drain) A failed check would result in non-lethal damage.Spell level----Check----damage if failed1st------------12----------1D42nd-----------14----------1D63rd------------16----------1D84th------------18----------1D105th------------20----------2D66th------------22----------2D87th------------24----------2d108th------------26----------4D69th------------28----------4D8-For every 5 the check is failed by an extra die would be added, So if a wizard cast a 9th level spell and the result of that check was 8, he would take 8D8 non-lethal damage. My group seemed quite fond of this idea, that in a party killing situation they could cast a 9th level spell to tare there enemy asunder while sacrificing there own life for glory. Or as a cleric attempt to resurrect a loved one at the risk of sacrificing them selves.  As for metamagic, they would be available to any caster who meets the prerequisites. If it adds a +1 to the spell level it will add double that to the check instead (+2 to the spell craft check) Anyways, this is about as far as I discussed this with my group and they are stoked to try it out. My biggest concern at the moment is the balance of the spellcraft check. Then I would add a feat that allows a spell caster to count a chosen spell casting class level as there rank for spellcraft, or I may just give that feature to all spellcasting classes. Thoughts? suggestions?</blockquote>
