    I played some of the original Traveller (still got all the little books). You have to love a system where your character can die during the character creation process.

    i think an Endure elments spell would of been helpfull..... plus it poses the question, would endure emelents, which protects you from all natural weather effects, hot/cold/rain/snow...... could it be seen as also to protect from pressure deferentals? beit high or low? It will protect from altitude sickness from being in the mountains..... Soo... Other Mages thougts?

    I looked it up - it's actually simpler than your initiative slot system.. here's what The Holy Text (2nd Ed) says regarding casting time:

     

     

     

    My interpretation would be, that as soon as your place in the initiative queue comes up, you cast the spell. Your wizard having to mumble the words and do a bit of hand-waving makes it more likely that you will cast your spell later in the round.

     

    This would also mean you'd have to state your intention to cast a spell before rolling initiative, and not just when your turn comes up.

     

    So in the case of the aforementioned Light, which has a casting time of 1, you'd get a +1 to your initiative roll, but you'd cast the spell that round.

     

    All that said, I could also see the fun of OP's initiative segment idea.

     

     

    True almost all cleric spells cast quicker than mage spells, with a few exceptions.... one very important one being 'Hold Person'....

    repost from my entry from Epi 49 forum but want to toss this out...

     

    Not sure Sark or the cast actually read these forums and it's been ten years since I last played a caster in 2nd ed. but I'm almost sure that the casting time in the player HB is in round segments (in second a round is broken into 10 segments for casting) unless it specifically says a # of rounds.

     

    Since the eps. are pre-recorded and for all I know this band of merry fools has flown right into the middle of the sun and are re-rolling new chars. but if anyone see this from the cast have Sark or Brian please check this out in the 2nd ed. players handbook but I'm almost positive that a casting time of 5 means you start casting at your initiative and then 5 initiative slots later that round the spell goes off. It lets casters get interrupted if hit during that portion of the round they are casting but it is not 5 rounds to cast a cure light wounds, that I can almost guarantee.

    Please READ upon casters...

     

    WAY off dudes, a caster be them Mage or Cleric, has a number of spells they can cast, of each lvl.

    Depending on the casters lvl in question.

     

    AFTER these are all exhausted, then and only then do they need to study/pray for spells

     

     

    Sark.....Blaine.....really dudes?

     

    Brian your cool, great job on your first caster.

     

    Shame Shame on the rest of you, read up guys

     

    Perhaps a Spell point system would work better for the groups stlye of rolepalying.

     

    Caster has ______ # of spell points they get per lvl to use each day, before "study/praying"

    spells cost ____# spell points to cast.

     

    very simple.

     

    I have a great 2nd ed spellpoint system already. if anyone wants it please just let me know, ill try to post it on here later/

     

     

    I had to speed home on the 91 to post this.... I AM outraged as a Wizard.... albeit a Bad one... for the Greatest of all Classes to be treated like this......

     

    tisk tisk gentlemen :::::wags finger:::::
