This helps with the UA system's problem where a mage's highest-level spells costed almost the same (why use an 8th level spell, when your 9th level spell costs only 2 more points out of your 150++?) Casters following the table below have a pool of spell points equal to: Spellcasting Ability Modifier * 10 Plus 10 for every four levels; So a level 8 wizard with 20 intelligence has: 5*10 + 20 = 70 spell points Here it goes. http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/4866/spellpointswn8.jpg I've been examining it for some time, and putting down formulas to see how many of his highest-level spells can a typical wizard cast per day, but I can't decide if it's too harsh or too lenient. So, what do you think? PS Don't mind the 0 cost for 0-level spells; I've done away with Cure Minor Wounds and Cause Minor Wounds already. They are silly spells anyway.

The idea of spells costing less as the caster levels up has been discussed there too, and there's been a lot of math and tables been thrown around in that thread. ;) Also, imho that o cost for 0th level spells was not a problem. Considering that it occured at level 19, "unlimited" healing wouldn't be a problem for me. Considering that the cleric or druid could heal at most 10HPs/minute, it hardly seems overpowered.
