Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sadrik" data-source="post: 6178486" data-attributes="member: 14506">I actually like putting in all of the different specialty casters under one roof (mage). To make it work though, it needs to use one casting methodology across all classes and subclasses. This may be what they have in mind already, I don’t know. I think the vancian methodology would be the best implementation for all casters; it’s simple and its classic. Then in the DMG provide alternate casting methods that could either be allowed on a character by character basis, or the DM says in this campaign setting all casters cast this way. This actually gives the most ability of customization and the most ability to keep it simple too. Examples: you might want a ranger with spell points, because you like the idea. You might like a druid with artificer methodology (hopefully this is what they do with the artificer) so you make items/runes/sigils/glyphs to manifest your magic. You might want a cleric with at-will magic because you like that. Also the DM might say in this setting everyone uses at-will magic, period or vancian or whatever. Lots of options.So the casting Methodologies could be:VancianAt-will (warlock)Spell Points (psion)Spontaneous (Sorcerer)Then here is where I think there could be some cool add ons:Music (Bard songs, make music and magic happens)Artifice (Artificer, craft items, sigils, glyphs and objects)Monk (only affects self, but perhaps always on too)Anyway, pulling the methodolgy out of the classes is really good for a number of reason. So if the mage/wizard, mage/sorcerer, mage/warlock, and mage/psion all have the vancian to begin with and then perhaps suggest a certain methodology to be used but dont have it hard coded it would be good.</blockquote>
