[QUOTE="Giltonio_Santos, post: 7603825, member: 36874"] Spell points without novaing could be achieved by creating a system where you build from the ground instead of depleting from the top. Every character has a maximum number of spell points/level, but they do not start there. The total always reverts to 0 after finishing a long rest. Characters gain X spell points/hour when out of combat, and X spell points/round once diplomacy stops working. I'd cap spell points/level at the number needed to cast your highest level spell, so they will usually start with the big gun loaded, but will have to set for worse while rebuilding. It improves staying power while limiting novaing power. Obviously, this is only a very rough idea, from the top of my head, but it's a design space I always wanted D&D to explore. Right now, every class is on the same "from fresh to thrash" cycle, it would be cool to have things the other way around. [/QUOTE]
