I don't love Vancian magic - but I hope Vancian magic and I can still be friends.

Vancian Magic and I had a one-night stand. I didn't call back because I discovered Psionics and Point-Based Magic. Sorry, Vancian.

 

[gizmo33]

Point-based Magic has a loose reputation - I hope you know what you're getting in to.

Actually I wouldn't mind Vancian magic if the spells were consistant - like there were spell creation guidelines used to create the range, damage, effect, etc. of all the spells in the book. Its the "300 special case rules" version of a magic system that I dislike.

No.

I'd prefer a system that makes spell casters more like artists and less like accountants. That incentivize creative spell usage, not just a miserly deployment of spell uses.

Resource management isn't the end-all and be-all when it comes to challenging players.

This link is better than pornography.

"Better than"?

The agency of desirous riddle
Hervirjai's abhorrent ambush
Gaideio's novel pore
Aiergo's safe mystery
Tamatz's irrefutable meander
The charm of light opposition
Khunu's precious enmity
Aranth's snug yellow
The pattern of smutty epoch
Mergin's bashful amity
The call of the loquacious obstinacy
Dhoulkala's exceptional implantation
Lacompoul's spongy man
Zernike's serene distribution
The charm of feline housewife
Lelgran's minus mistress
Tabaraba's inextricable azimuth
Bernatune's congratulatory diaphragm

... and that wasn't looking very hard!

Cheers, -- N
