Spell-Casting Table--Another Approach

[captaincrumbcake]

The following is how the mechanic described in the House Rules thread (Another Spell-casting Approach), might look.

Prime Requisite	Roll #	shown	below	or less	on a	d 20
INT/WIS	1ST	2ND	3RD	4TH	5TH	6TH	(7TH)
18	17	16	15	14	13	12	11
17	16	15	14	13	12	11	10
16	15	14	13	12	11	10	09
15	14	13	12	11	10	09	08
14	13	12	11	10	09	08	07
13	12	11	10	09	08	07	06
12	11	10	09	08	07	06	05
11	10	09	08	07	06	05	04
10	09	08	07	06	05	04	03
09	08	07	06	05	04	03	02
08	07	06	05	04	03	02	01
07	06	05	04	03	02	01	NA
06	05	04	03	02	01	NA	NA
05	04	03	02	01	NA	NA	NA
04	03	02	01	NA	NA	NA	NA
03	02	01	NA	NA	NA	NA	NA

NA meaning, characters with a PR score as shown, cannot (ever) cast the spell-level indicated. Use of scrolls, wands or rods not considered.

That is quite curious indeed. I think I might leave it as it is for the lower level spells but make it more restrictive for the 5th and higher spells.

Without a good bit of play testing, you may or may not be right.

Unfortunately, I live in the world of my mind--the theoretical. If someone else doesn't try to test all the things I suggest in my commentaries, it is sadly most likely all that I propose will be forever lost in the Game Cloud in the sky.

Well write up everything you can and post it on here. We are going to be mining this place for years. If it stays up and running maybe my future children, grandchildren and 10 generations further on will still be adding and mining.
