[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3618490, member: 13966"] [i] Meaning, what, a Wizard would have the same number of SP as a Psion of equal level has PP? This is the part that makes little sense to me. 1 SP = 1 CL? Huh? That has little to do with psionic power points. Power points are related to power level, not caster level, the same way each spell slot is of a particular spell level. Which means what, anyway? Your limit as a 10th-level wizard with 22 Int is 11 in this case; which means what exactly? You could prepare 11 spells of 1st-level, or 2 of 5th-level and 1 of 1st-level? Is that what you mean? Cuz you're really not clear on this, especially with your earlier line of saying 1 SP = 1 CL and all that. It doesn't make any sense regarding how many spells you prepare or cast of each spell level. Or what the effective caster level is for each? I'm not really sure what you mean by these lines. And I'm still not quite sure where this is leading. [/i] This also confuses me as to its exact meaning/use. Specific examples, reasonably explained, are needed. How does this help if you're screwed by preparing the wrong spells for the battle? If all you've prepared offensively is Fireballs and Scorching Rays, you're screwed if the opponent turns out to be a juvenile red dragon or a pack of fire mephits. If it takes a minute or more to prepare different/additional spells, that isn't going to save you from getting fried. And I'm confused exactly how this system is supposed to work. Does spending a minute+ to prepare new spells mean your Spell Points are refreshed? Or what? Cuz if not, this seems like a tremendous gimping of the spellcasters. And if it does work like that (spending a minute+ to prepare spells again refreshes SP), then instead it's going to increase their overall power quite drastically on a daily basis (though weakening them mildly or moderately in each individual battle). Especially when it comes to utility spells for use outside combat. [/QUOTE]
