Expanding Spells Poll for Novus - please come vote

[imported_Rasyr]

Okay, I am starting this poll to get feed back on how to expand the spells/spell lists for each school. I want to find out what everybody prefers from among the options listed. Please

• Add Casting Options -- This is basically adding what I discussed in this thread - http://www.firehawkgames.biz/forum/index.php?topic=748.0 - to a number of spells. Not ever spells would have the options added, nor would every spell have the same options. The option costs would be designed so as to NOT invalidate the Spell Base rules found in Libram Novus #1.
• Adding More Spells -- basically, this means that I have to create more spells to include in each School, and add them to the lists and pages.
• Doing a bit of Both -- this option means adding both Casting Options and more spells, though perhaps not in as great a profusion as in either option alone.
• Leave them as they are -- this option says to just leave the spells section alone, and keep the half-empty pages.
• Something Else -- in this one, you have something else in mind than the options I listed. Please explain what that something else it. It is quite possible that you thought of something that I didn't.

I like casting options. I much prefer them to having multiple unrelated spells that perform the same function.

I vote for option 3. I think the casting options are a good improvement but OTOH, more spells would be appreciated. So if we can have some casting options along with some new spells, it will be great. Casting options come first IMO, as Libram Novus 1 already give rules to create as many spells as we may wish.
Option 4 is definitively not an option in my mind. Frankly, Rasyr, leaving things unchanged ? I am not even sure you are able to do that.

Strongly in favor of casting options. Provides additional options for spellcasters while not expanding the spell list exponentially.

Ok, the result is that I am going to add a couple of new spells to each School of Magic, making sure that they all have the same number.

I am ALSO going to be adding Casting Options to as many spells as possible as well.

Casting Options are ONLY going to be available to Adepts (thus a Fighter or Rogue who learns spells will NOT be allowed to use the Casting Options). I feel that this allows the Adepts to be special when it comes to spells, while still allowing non-Adepts the ability to learn some spells...
