[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 3773774, member: 2268"] Want an easy system to use D&D spells with a quasi-"per encounter" flavour and still have it be a "per day" mechanic in the end? Make every spell cause 1d4 points of subdual damage per spell level (1 point for 0 level spells). At some point, the caster WILL have to rest, and not because he's run out of spells, but because he's close to collapse. :lol: If you feel generous, you can add some kind of "drain check" to see if the amount of damage can be halved.
