1. Allow a command for spellcasters to recover/refresh spells without have to be sleeping.
-trance, -meditation, -focus...whatever.
With a coldown (to avoid infinite casting, could be something as once per IG day) give an ability to the non-infinite spell casters to be allowed to recover their spells anytime they went into an allowed trance (like sleep/rest, but that they don't needed to be exhausted to do it).
This should be given specially to Wizards as a main feature for them due their focused mind discipline.
Think about:
What moment will be better for a scholar to stydy his spells, knowledges? When his body is exhausted (and then also his mind) or when he could still being fresh (so more focus in his mind)?
This may also help to make more playable a wizard in Arelith.
2. Give penalties to drunk spellcasters.
I suggest that you give penalties to the focus skill when drunk... because is what IRL happens and even in fantasy should happen.
Because...
... And because you will enforce also a healthy life to your players, by pointing that the alcohol is in fact a drug and have bad effectsmedical Resources wrote: ALCOHOL’S DAMAGING EFFECTS ON THE BRAIN
Difficulty walking,
blurred vision,
slurred speech, slowed reaction times,
impaired memory: Clearly, alcohol affects the brain.
Some of these impairments are detectable after only one or two drinks and quickly resolve when drinking stops. On the other hand, a person who drinks heavily over a long period of time may have brain deficits that persist well after he or she achieves sobriety. Exactly how alcohol affects the brain and the likelihood of reversing the impact of heavy drinking on the brain remain hot topics in alcohol research today.
We do know that heavy drinking may have extensive and far–reaching effects on the brain, ranging from simple “slips” in memory to permanent and debilitating conditions that require lifetime custodial care.
And even moderate drinking leads to short–term impairment, as shown by extensive research on the impact of drinking on driving.
A number of factors influence how and to what extent alcohol affects the brain (1), including
BLACKOUTS AND MEMORY LAPSES
Alcohol can produce detectable impairments in memory after only a few drinks and, as the amount of alcohol increases, so does the degree of impairment. Large quantities of alcohol, especially when consumed quickly and on an empty stomach, can produce a blackout, or an interval of time for which the intoxicated person cannot recall key details of events, or even entire events.
Blackouts are much more common among social drinkers than previously assumed and should be viewed as a potential consequence of acute intoxication regardless of age or whether the drinker is clinically dependent on alcohol (2). White and colleagues (3) surveyed 772 college undergraduates about their experiences with blackouts and asked, “Have you ever awoken after a night of drinking not able to remember things that you did or places that you went?” Of the students who had ever consumed alcohol, 51 percent reported blacking out at some point in their lives, and 40 percent reported experiencing a blackout in the year before the survey. Of those who reported drinking in the 2 weeks before the survey, 9.4 percent said they blacked out during that time. The students reported learning later that they had participated in a wide range of potentially dangerous events they could not remember, including vandalism, unprotected sex, and driving.
