Increasing the SP cost or casting time basically means that the character has the same base CHANCE of casting the spell as if he/she was wearing no armor- it just takes more energy and time to do so. That's not nearly as much fun (or tense) for the caster!
The question is -- When Joe makes his Magecraft roll, does it tell him that the spell costs 4 SP (its normal cost), or 6 SP since that is what Fred spent?
Personally, I would say 4 SP, since it seems wrong to me to force a Counterspeller to also pay for the target's impedance. It would also mean that something that makes a spell harder to cast also makes it harder to dispell (counter-intuitive to me).
Currently, I am leaning more towards not allowing them to be saved, but allowing them to be spent on things across 2 levels (i.e. pay some DP for something in one level, then pay the rest the following level - of course, not gaining access to whatever it is until the full cost has been paid).
And also - welcome to the forums.
how about "Neutral" Spells (i.e. as in they are neutral in relationship to the other schools of magic)?
Hmmm.... I guess "cantrips" would do if nothing better comes along...
I'm always civil.
Sadly, I am not.
For a feline race (Lions always seemed like the best option in my opinion) I would use the Elves as a baseline and tweak it from there.
Tim (Rasyr), are you gonna do the Bazaar and EA races for Novus, or do you want players/playtesters to do it? That's something I would be interested in...
