I'd like to discuss circle caps... I think if you have a class feature, item, feat, etc. that boosts circle, it should work, even if your level isn't high enough to support that circle. Also, if the spell's base circle is higher than your normal max (e.g. power word kill, when you first learn it) it should cast at the higher circle. You can't mana burn it higher than your cap, which means you have to gain several levels before you can mana-burn power word kill, but it never has a circle lower than 10. I don't see this as game-breaking in any way. It amounts to a few extra points of damage, since circle effectively just alters die size, rather than die quantity (which is determined by character level). Convince me otherwise? | I'd like to discuss circle caps...

the reason why I put in the circle cap was that we coould have ways for casters to raise their caster level. the wizzies circus arcana could easily include +1 caster level. this actually works really well with the arcane schools, and 'uncorks' those over-circled heavy-hitters. (which are admittedly rare, and could also simply be removed) I was also going to introduce at least a couple of magic items that raised the caster's caster level for a given school, or all spells of a given level, or just all spells for the really expensive versions. :) the plan is for casters to have so much delicious item candy out there they're just HUNGRY for more loots. as they should be. :) | |||
