As answers aren’t permitted in Question posts I’m obliged to remove it and have done so. I would convert it to an Answer post if I could but I don’t have that power. If you wish to, you can recover the text from the edit history and shape it into an Answer. | |

| Jun 28, 2018 at 15:05 | comment | added | Yakk | I need clarification; how it works impacts how much work should be put into the bookkeeping. Is anything stopping your sorcerer from blowing up a rock (or something equally pointless) at the end of the day with excess spell slots? If that is the case, you want a system that is really easy to track, because pointless bookkeeping sucks. If not, you need to explain, so we can judge how complex the tracking system can afford to be. | |

| Jun 28, 2018 at 9:16 | comment | added | Ceiling Gecko | This is slightly getting off-topic now, but the mechanic is not intended to be purely detrimental to the sorcerer so that they would feel a need to game the system. It was more intended as a push your luck mechanism where it would reward the sorcerer if they can maintain a high charge while not going overboard. The system itself has not yet been put to test on the table yet, so for all I know it might indeed be too gimmicky or not practical/fun to keep track of the charge at all times. | |
| Jun 28, 2018 at 4:06 | comment | added | aschepler | Not what you're asking about, but have you considered that this variant sorcerer could cast almost any standard spell at the end of the day in some way without much useful effect, just to burn energy? And if you try to require "useful" casts, defining and/or adjudicating that will likely be an unpleasant mess. | |

| Jun 27, 2018 at 21:19 | comment | added | Ceiling Gecko | @HellSaint I'm just trying to find a way how I can weigh and compare the value of a level 1 spell slot against a level 2 spell slot. For example, if a level 1 spell slot has a value of 1 point then how much would a level 2 spell slot be worth? 2 points? 1.5 point? etc. | |
| Jun 27, 2018 at 21:02 | comment | added | HellSaint | Is there any reason the table itself is not enough for you? (i.e. you want levels above 20, idk?) | |

| Jun 27, 2018 at 20:49 | comment | added | Ceiling Gecko | @HellSaint Yep, although it would help to also know the math behind spell slot distributions behind Paladin and so forth, I felt like it would make the question a bit vague since I'm primarily interested in building one for a sorcerer. | |
