Wizards & Spellbooks

Post by The Rambling Midget » Sat Jan 24, 2015 7:07 pm

Wizards gain a Focus status indicator, which is replenished with each tick; more rapidly with higher Wisdom.

A Wizard may choose to read his or her Spellbook in order to recover one entire spell level, (or maybe a bracket of spell levels) at the cost of an amount of Focus.
  • If Focus is too low, reading becomes too difficult and the spells cannot be replenished.
  • Spellbooks cannot be read in combat.
  • Reading takes several rounds, making it impractical for quick recovery.
  • Resting recovers an amount of Focus per rest tick, but may leave the state below 100% if it has been severely drained.
Hopefully, this will negate the need for a sub-class, because any Wizard desiring especially rapid recovery would need to build for high Wisdom.
