[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 1712140, member: 11300"] Hi Saeviomagy, Ghosting the second character most likely does not help and is probably the biggest problem for you. It simply takes your focus away when you need it most. I am currently playing a 13th level wizard who has a massive collection of spells, over 46 spells to select each day and four metamagic feats to combine with them. I have managed this by creating spell slot sheets in Excel. I just write in the spells into the rectangular slots and cross them off as I use them. However, I have four of these sheets pre-generated to represent a few different occasions: - A Generic Spell Selection (Mainly used for rest days and unspecified downtime) - A Research Spell Selection (When creating items, researching spells etc.) - An Adventuring Spell Selection (mainly mayhem, violence and a couple of utility spells) - A Travelling Spell Selection (Similar to adventuring but with a focus on Teleports, Phantom Steed, Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion etc.) In this way, I just pick up the sheet, rub out any previous crosses and get to it. On the whole, it works excellently - you just end up knowing all your spells backwards. Trying to play a wizard otherwise was just a nightmare and slowed the game down too much - as you have found out. This system works very nicely as a DM as well. What are your thoughts? Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
