[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 4997115, member: 48520"] I saw someone propose Caster Level Checks to cast spells (as a check to some of the crazier ones). So I'm going to ask, does anyone think this would be a good Idea? I proposed a change a while back, and repeated it in a recent thread: Caster Level Check replacing ASF, With Caster Level Checks built in. You could take it a step farther. Instead of metamagic being feats all the time, you could have it change the check DCs, and then the feats wouldnt all be used up (Often you regret taking them IME). It would be possible, right? Finally: Counter Spelling: Truly this is a bit inspired by my days of MtG. 2 Blue = Counter. Many variations exist. Right now you can only counter spell if you are already waiting for a spell to be cast. Because of this, I have actually never seen counter spell be used as a counter. I've seen people use silence to stoop a mage in his tracks, but never seen anyone actually use counter spell. Spellcasting provokes AoOs. What if you could counterspell as an AoO? I could see it being at least a viable choice then. Honestly I'd propose further changes to counterspell, from my own thoughts, but maybe other people feel differently, so I'm open to input. Changes: To Counterspell, you no longer need to have the correct spell. You still need to Identify the spell, and then you need to make a dispel check instead of casting the correct spell. If the altered Counterspell needs limits any or all of the following could be used: 1: Counterspelling can be counterspelled. 2: While Counterspelling is an AoO, You cannot cast full round spells in a round you counterspelled. 3: Counterspelling can only be done if you can cast the same level spells as the one youre trying to counter, and eats up a spell slot of that level (of higher, at caster's discretion). Now, can we make any improvement using any of these ideas? [/QUOTE]
