<blockquote data-quote="Jeph" data-source="post: 316029" data-attributes="member: 6738">You get jme all wrong: the system i have does not even use spells per day. Instead, magic-using characters spend fatigue points to cast completely customized spells. I have three pages of tables on spell perameters, the tab function used to space the tables out right messes up when I try to post it so it will be a while before I get that part up and running. Let me go in depth anyway: A few things you'll need to know: MP stands for Manifestation Points.Magic:- 1 Caster Level (CL) can be bought for 8 Ability Points, but no more than 1 CL can be&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; gained each level.- Concentrating on a spell is a standard action the first round, and a full round action every round you build up power on the same spell after that, and always&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; provokes an attack of opportunity. - If a caster has power stored up from concentrating and takes an action other than concentrating or releasing the spell's power, they must make a Concentration check DC 15 (or DC 20 for hurried or stressful actions such as attacking) or lose all stored power.- Releasing a spell's power is a free action. - When damage is taken durring casting, the caster must make a concentration check&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; (DC damage dealt) or lose the power. If they fail by 5 or more, they still suffer&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the spell’s backlash.- When concentrating on a spell, roll a given number of dice plus your Wisdom&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; modifier times your CL- You gain this many MP to spend on spells in the round.- If your concentration is ever broken, or you have extra MP not spent at the end of a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; round, they are lost.- When a spell is complete, the caster suffers backlash Fatigue damage equal to the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; MP cost of the spell divided by 10 (minimum 1, round up).- Casters can soak up up to double their CL plus double thier wisdom modifier in&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Fatigue from spellcasting before it actually affects their Fatigue points.- When a spell is cast with an MP cost greater than the caster’s Safety Limit, the caster&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; must make a concentration check (DC 10+MP cost - Safety Limit) or suffer&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; concequences as outlined below.CL:&nbsp; &nbsp; Safety Limit:&nbsp; MP/Round:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; a: The counterer rolls MP/Round at -1 / level. This is then subtracted from the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; spell thier opponent is trying to cast. The opponent then may cast the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; spell with reduced efectiveness.&nbsp; &nbsp; b: The counterer rolls MP/Round. They then cast a spell as similar to their&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; opponent’s as possible. Then both casters make opposed&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; concentration checks. If the counterer wins, their opponent’s spell fails.(pant, pant, pant......fingers ache, neck aches, shoulders ache, eyes ache, wrists developing arthuritus.....must.....go....on......keep......typing......)And now for just a bit of my custom spell tableAbility:&nbsp;

[QUOTE="Jeph, post: 316029, member: 6738"] You get jme all wrong: the system i have does not even use spells per day. Instead, magic-using characters spend fatigue points to cast completely customized spells. I have three pages of tables on spell perameters, the tab function used to space the tables out right messes up when I try to post it so it will be a while before I get that part up and running. Let me go in depth anyway: A few things you'll need to know: MP stands for Manifestation Points. Magic: - 1 Caster Level (CL) can be bought for 8 Ability Points, but no more than 1 CL can be gained each level. - Concentrating on a spell is a standard action the first round, and a full round action every round you build up power on the same spell after that, and always provokes an attack of opportunity. - If a caster has power stored up from concentrating and takes an action other than concentrating or releasing the spell's power, they must make a Concentration check DC 15 (or DC 20 for hurried or stressful actions such as attacking) or lose all stored power. - Releasing a spell's power is a free action. - When damage is taken durring casting, the caster must make a concentration check (DC damage dealt) or lose the power. If they fail by 5 or more, they still suffer the spell’s backlash. - When concentrating on a spell, roll a given number of dice plus your Wisdom modifier times your CL - You gain this many MP to spend on spells in the round. - If your concentration is ever broken, or you have extra MP not spent at the end of a round, they are lost. - When a spell is complete, the caster suffers backlash Fatigue damage equal to the MP cost of the spell divided by 10 (minimum 1, round up). - Casters can soak up up to double their CL plus double thier wisdom modifier in Fatigue from spellcasting before it actually affects their Fatigue points. - When a spell is cast with an MP cost greater than the caster’s Safety Limit, the caster must make a concentration check (DC 10+MP cost - Safety Limit) or suffer concequences as outlined below. CL: Safety Limit: MP/Round: Spells Known: 1 9 wis mod + 1d6 5 2 14 2 x wis mod + 1d6 7 3 18 3 x wis mod + 1d6 9 4 24 4 x wis mod + 1d8 11 5 28 5 x wis mod + 1d8 13 6 33 6 x wis mod + 1d8 14 7 39 7 x wis mod + 1d10 15 8 44 8 x wis mod + 1d10 16 9 48 9 x wis mod + 1d10 17 10 52 10 x wis mod + 1d12 18 11 59 11 x wis mod + 1d12 19 12 63 12 x wis mod + 1d12 20 13 69 13 x wis mod + 2d8 21 14 74 14 x wis mod + 2d8 22 15 78 15 x wis mod + 2d8 23 16 84 16 x wis mod + 3d6 24 17 89 17 x wis mod + 3d6 25 18 93 18 x wis mod + 3d6 26 19 99 19 x wis mod + 3d8 27 20 104 20 x wis mod + 3d8 28 Note that a "spell" is a general description of the affect, such as "Fireball: sphere of fire within sight, reflex half." This leaves exact range, radious, damage, and DC up to the caster to decide at the time of casting. Safety Limit Failure Consequences: Failed by: Consequence: 1-3 Backlash damage increased by half 4-6 Backlash damage dealt to HP 7-9 Backlash damage increased by half and dealt to HP 10-12 Backlash damage x1d4 fire in 5' radious 13-15 Backlash damage x1d6 fire in 10' radious 16+ Caster destroyed, backlash damage x1d8 fire in 15' radious - A caster may counterspell if they ready an action or make an initiative check DC 20. - They must then make a Spellcraft check DC 10+ their opponent’s CL. - The counterer then has 2 options: a: The counterer rolls MP/Round at -1 / level. This is then subtracted from the spell thier opponent is trying to cast. The opponent then may cast the spell with reduced efectiveness. b: The counterer rolls MP/Round. They then cast a spell as similar to their opponent’s as possible. Then both casters make opposed concentration checks. If the counterer wins, their opponent’s spell fails. (pant, pant, pant......fingers ache, neck aches, shoulders ache, eyes ache, wrists developing arthuritus.....must.....go....on......keep......typing......) And now for just a bit of my custom spell table Ability: MP description change ability score 13 Alters physical score by 1 point 10 Alters mental score by 1 point alter skill 30 Alters all skills by 1 point 1 Alters specific skill by 2 points 20 makes specific skill unaccesable 9 alters strength based skill s by 1 point 9 alters dex based skill s by 1 point 5 alters con based skill s by 1 point 7 alters int based skill s by 1 point 7 alters wis based skill s by 1 point 7 alters cha based skill s by 1 point Speed 20 alters ground speed by 5 feet 20 alters existing fly speed by 5 feet 50 grants creature 60 fly speed, avg manueverability 20 alters manueverability by 1 category 25 alters existing swim speed by 5 feet 45 grants swim speed of 35 feet 45 alters existing burrow speed by 5 feet 60 grants burrow speed of 10 feet Destruction 2 deals 1d6 damage 2 deals 1d8 fatigue damage 80 destroys 10 cubic feet of anything 65 destroys/kills 10 cubic feet of living matter 40 destroys 10 cubic feet of unliving matter +5 adds elemental descriptor +0 adds energy descriptor +7 adds force descriptor +0 adds weapon damage type +4 damage has no descriptor This is just a sample. In the main thingamabob is also teleportation, influence, illusion, healing, alignment, conjur object, light source, invisibility, and ad hoc. Now for stuff like DC and range: Perameter MP Description Range -5 Touch +10 anywhere caster can see without assistance +20 magically/artificially assisted sight +10 unlimited by sight +25 only description of location available (int DC 20) +30 not even that available (int DC 25) -2 up to 10 feet away +0 up to 100 feet away +5 up to 500 feet away +10 up to 1000 feet away +3 +100 feet Area +0 linear area (line extending from caster) +0 up to 3 5-foot cubes +5 per aditional 5-foot cube +1 circular area +0 column/tube -5 flat plane +0 sphere +0 up to 10' radious +(X^2) per "X" extra 5-foot units of radious +0 Conical area +0 first three (length x width)/5' units +5 per each aditional (length x width)/5' unit +10 Custom area +3 per 5-foot cube +10 consists of multiple unconnected sections Target +0 Single target (or 10-foot cube) +5 each extra target/10-foot cube -5 all targets must be within 20' of each other +0 targets must be within 40' of each other +5 targets do not have to be close to each other Duration +5X per durative unit /5 X= round x1 minute x1.5 10 minutes x2 hour x3 day x4 week x5 month x6 year end when.... +5 (beneficial circumstance) -10 (unbeneficial circumstance) +10 (caster's/3rd party's discretion) +7 (subject's discretion) DC +0 10 + (MP/10)+wis modifier -5 sace negates +0 save for half/partial +7 +1 to DC -3 -1 to DC Wow. done. finally. you might just possibly expect a more extensive list of spell abilities next week on friday or saturday. I'm exhausted, this took like an hour and a half and was just copying. Hope this answers some questions, - Jeph PS: darn this dern posting thingy to heck! it screwed u0p the tables even when I didn't use tab! anyone know a way around this? [/QUOTE]
