The NEXT Generation of Adventurers: DnD 5E Discussion

Are there any major changes to the point buy system?

Yes. 15 is the stat cap before racial adjustment.

Here is a table of How many points a stat costs:

8: 0
9: 1
10: 2
11: 3
12: 4
13: 5
14: 7
15: 9

For the darkness thing, how would darkvision affect that? Thorough negation of the penalties?

Alright so about those spells...

You have a list of all potential spells you can learn. Each day you pick a few from the list to know for that day. You cannot change this list until the next day.

You cast these spells similar to FF1 (5 first level MP, 4 second level MP, 2 third level MP), but you can, say, use a third level MP to cast a first level spell. Your MP is determined by level. There are also Cantrips which have infinite uses and don't use MP.

When you take a long rest, your MP fills up to max.

Have I got all that right?

Not really.

Each class learns spells with the exception of the Cleric, Druid, and Wizard, who choose spells from their deity/nature/spellbook and prepare a number of spell equal to their spell slots each day, so you got it right for those.

Cantrips are always learned and infinite use though.

Okay, for classes that learn spells, they can't change their spells daily, but they still get spell slots that they consume to cast spells. You can cast a spell at a higher level for a greater affect too.

Anyways, one spell slot is equal to one spell from that level. Each class has a certain amount of slots per level with the exception of the Warlock, which has a number of slots whose level is determined by his own level, and all spells cast are of that level.

Spell slots are regained upon a long rest or a short rest depending on the class.

Think more like FF3 in terms of how each level gets its own number of castings, except that you can boost the power of a lower level spell by casting it as a higher level spell.

Ex: Dissonant Whispers deals 3d6 psychic damage as a first level spell, but for each spell level greater than first, it deals an extra d6.

Wait, Cleric is a bit different.

This sort of memory jumbling sort of happens when you try to take in too much information at once.

A cleric chooses a number of spells equal to his Cleric Level + Wisdom Modifier to use each day. He can only choose spells of a level that he can cast.

However, you can cast prepared spell as many times as you want assuming you have a spell slot available to cast it with.

Okay, the same thing applies to Wizards, but they are limited to the spells in their spellbook and they use Intelligence instead of Wisdom.

Feature = a trait specific to class or race.
Proficiency = can or can't use weapon/armour types.
AC = Armour Class, your ability to avoid a hit by dodging or absorbing.
DC = Dice Check

It would seem that I need to seperate 3.5 and 5e in my head as well. :U

*still hasn't looked at anything 5e*
