[QUOTE="Maedhros the Tall, post: 183914, member: 4527"] I have to vote that the current D&D magic system is not the best possible. This is mainly because of sacred cows IMO, but I digress. I like both the lower powered magic settings, where magic is feared or even not truly believed in as well as the high levels of magic found in Forgotten Realms for example. The problem of slots is that it makes magic too regimented. Meta-magic feats help, but not enough to overcome the basic limitations of the system. As for myself, I am not currently in a campaign :( and so have no real reason to work out the bugs of the magic system. I have one system that I have been kicking around shortly after 3E came out that uses an elementally based magic favor and Lore Ratings to determine what spells you can even learn, as you may be a high level mage, but if you have no experience with Water Elemental spells, that new spell you discovered makes no sense to you. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
