  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Wizards & Spellbooks

Post by The Rambling Midget »

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.
