| New Rules for Spell Casters |
| Preparing Spells
no long are you required to rest for 8 full hours strait to regain spells. now you just need a good night sleep. taking a two hour guard rotation can be part of a good nights sleep if it is first or last watch. trying to sleep on sharp pointy rock might not be. Preparation is now a universal 30 minutes for every one. in addition to sleep there is also mana charge. time that a spell caster uses to restore used mana out side of sleep. it happens in many forms but the caster must be in a Preparation Environment as per the PHB page 178. it takes 30 minutes of rest for each consecutive level of spell. (30 minutes for 1st lv. one hour for 1st and 2nd lv. one hour 30 minutes for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd ect..). this restores all castable spells of that level. other words if you rest for 30 minutes you get back all your 1st lv spells. you do not get to re-memorize a new spell list, it just restores your spell list. time is required to replenish and clear the casters mind so you my not rest to regain spell mana with in two hours of the last time you rested. (currently there is a limit of three times a day this can be done.) you may spend one additional hour after you have fully restored mana to re-make your spell list. examples: jomama the 17th level Wizard will need to rest a full four and a half hours and then spend one hour preparing a new spell list in order to change his 9th level spell. Zapy McZapzalot the 7th level Sorcerer has just used his last spell in a nasty ambush just after breakfast (one hour after he got up). so he decides it might be wise to replenish his spells before he goes on. not wanting to hold up the rest of the party to much longer he only spends 30 minutes resting to gain all his 1st Lv spells. |
