Gwal up on RG

Ferrix, I know you like exotic character (Freeport with Karl) but I feel that Gwal is a bit overporwered, especially that fast healing. Also I wanted the player to stick with the Wotc book only, I like to have an easy access to the books, mag, ect used in my campaing. If you are Ok playing a normal dwarf fighter or something else I would greatly appreciate.

I was flipping through the magic section of UA, which I hadn't done before. DarkMaster, what are your thoughts on Spontaneous Metamagic and Recharge Magic?

Spontaneous Metamagic is good for sorcerer, seriously I would be willing to allow it, I would allow your wizard to cast an unprepared one as a full round action (like the sorcerer) with a bump in level. The only problem is that you have to keep some higher level slot open or accept to lose a prepared spell from that level. I would also allow casting it at the same level but you have to spend a full round extra per level that should be bump, making it a less interesting option for combat.

As for Recharge Magic I didn't spent enough time on it, to feel comfortable with it so I will not play with it.

I thought only the lieutenant was mounted, not all of them. I'll add some water and rations to Oculus' saddlebags if that's ok.

Thanks for the info on the spontaneous metamagic. I know its way too early to be thinking about what will happen down the road, but at least now I know.

What I like about UA spontaneous metamagic is that it makes metamagic feats as attractive as buying metamagic rods and encourages wizards to take more metamagic feats instead of just buying rods, or taking craft rod. Sorcerers of course are a different story.

Since they'll be moving too fast for Oculus to use his Survival skill to get food and water, Oculus bought 6 more rations and a bucket to cast Create Water in, so Oculus and Jasper can refill their water skins. I swapped out Detect Magic for Create Water too. (This will actually happen next morning, but I'll just update the sheet now.) Since they're best friends they'll go buy rations together, no? That way Jasper knows he doesn't need to load himself up on waterskins (they get heavy quick!).

No problem for the ration.

I want to make sure I understand this correctly. We're going to have three options for casting metamagiced spells:
1. The normal way.
2. Spontaneously apply feat by spending an extra round casting per extra level the feat adds. So casting a 1 action spell with silent spell would be two full round actions?
3. Spontaneously apply feat by swapping out a spell slot of the modified level. So when I prepare spells, I could leave an empty 3rd level slot, and use it to cast any spell that is metamagiced to 3rd level, but not normal 3rd level spells? That seems really strange.

2. If silent add one level, yes
3. let's say you have 1 magic missile and 3rd level spell slot unused, you plan on using the 10 or 15 minute option of preparing the spell later in the day. You could use it to cast metamagic magic missile of it, losing both slot.

2 also apply to sorcerer. I never tried those options but I think it is worth the try. Most wizard will use 3 only in desperate situation, so I don't feel that it empowers them too much.

I also would like to tell you that I will not let you know everytime I roll skill check. You will only feel the effect in my description of the text, you might not even know that I rolled the dice
