Concerning area effect spells, one possibility is to charge one extra mana per 5' square affected. 5' radius would be 4 squares, 10' radius would be 12 squares, 15' cone would be 6 or 7 (depending on facing), and so on. A 40' radius would be 172 squares! Not sure how well this scales with the rest of your system, but it might work as a starting point. (See page 307 in DMG for spell templates.)2. Strictly my own opinion, but I think the current edition favors stats too much as is. With your system, a high spellcasting stat is at least as important as level. You'll end up with players only playing a caster if they can get a good stat - otherwise the power difference would be extreme. I'd personally favor a system where level is the primary determinant of power, and a good stat only has a marginal effect. YMMV.</blockquote>
