I would simply allow the recovery of magic--no roll needed.That isn't how the concept works. You roll according to the spell you just cast.For example, at 7th level if you cast fireball, your recharge number is 6. If you don't roll a 6 on your next turn, you can't cast any spell of any spell level.But, and maybe this is something more of what you are thinking, perhaps that single roll will indicate what spell levels are available, if any.For example, consider the progression for an 11th level caster:[ATTACH=full]269976[/ATTACH]After casting a spell, at the start of their next turn they roll the recharge die and get a 4. This would allow them access to Cantrips, 1st, and 2nd level spells for their current turn, but not 3rd through 6th. If the roll had been a 1 or 2, they would not be able to cast that turn.While this isn't a bad idea, it does lead to some potentially abusing spell casting with lucky rolls. The PC casts a 6th level spell, rolls a 6, casts another 6th, rolls a 6 again, casts another 6th!So, I don't think that would really work...It seems like too much to bother tracking IMO, but I can talk to the others about it. Personally, I would rather keep it simpler and just go with it is just a failure for that turn, or no magic until X (short rest or whatever, maybe spending a HD or gaining exhaustion?).That was actually my original plan, was just spells 1-5 levels and then do a mystic arcanum thing for 6-9 levels.You wouldn't. Suppose a caster casts darkvision on another PC. The caster would really be just about guaranteed (7775 out of 7776) to have magic again after 30 seconds, so unless a battle happens almost immediately after the casting, they will have magic available for when the next battle begins.</blockquote>
