[QUOTE="Chacal, post: 4442778, member: 1349"] Here's another take with the following goals: - toning down the 1/2 level progression which I find too big - converting NPCs and PCs statblocks in less than a minute (even ones with 3+ spellcasting classes). This one means that you haven't got the time to change its spell progression To illustrate this last point, I describe the rule as a conversion process [B]Step 1: [/B] Compute [B]BCL[/B] (Full spellcast+ 3/4 +1/2levels of non spellcasting classes) 5-10 seconds ? [B]Step 2:[/B] for each spellcasting class X of the PC/NPC, look up [list] [*] HS the highest level spell it can cast at its current level (1 second) [*] THS the "theoretical" highest level spell it could cast if its level was the BCL (2 seconds except for ranger and paladins, I never remember this) [*] MB : The[B] magical bonus[/B] that should be given in order to reach the average between HS and TCS. (3 seconds) [/list] [B]Step 3:[/B] consider that all spells for a class are metamagicked of Magical Bonus Level (give Heightened for free if necessary). This step can be as simple or as complex as you want if the NPC has several metamagic feats. For instance, a wiz 5 Clr 3 Ftr 6 with extended spell Step 1: BCL of 11 Step 2: Wiz (3-6) MBL 1, Clr (2-6) MBL 2 Step 3: Apply extented spell to every spell where it can be applied, add Heightened on top if needed.
