[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3621941, member: 35788"] A quality suggestion, especially for being off-the-cuff. Although, it is remarkably similiar to ... wait for it ... a psionics solution to the problem! Which in my book is a good thing. That is one thing I love about psionics. A psion who is absolutely confident that they aren't going to need all their powerpoints for a day to be spread out over multiple encounters can blow it all on a single combat if needed. (I.E. novaing, and I'm in favor of being able to do it - so long as the DM expects it and doesn't let it happen most 'days.' But that's another argument for another thread) Or, or the other hand, a psionic character can guess that the upcoming day might be a little on the rough side and rather than blow their powerpoints on the higher level spells they decide to tone down their overall power but spread it out more. The fact that psionic characters are much more limited in their scope than wizards helps balance this. I don't see why the same thing wouldn't work for wizards - so long as they had a limited spell list that they could use for "swapping" purposes. To allow them to swap spell levels for any spell that they know may be a bit overpowering, though. [/QUOTE]
