Everyone's a caster!
I'm reading a lot of spell books these days, as I like to incorporate weird magicks into my games. I usually let PCs with magic training learn the spells they find on scrolls without having to spend a progression slot for them, but what about other characters? Here's an idea:
Between adventures (1), check INT, WIS, or CHA depending of the type of spell. On a pass, you learn the spell. The scroll is destroyed in any case.
To cast a known spell without magical training:
- you cannot spend more HP than your level
- you always roll with disadvantage
- should you let ambient chaos interfere, the dR is rolled with disadvantage.
(1) if your campaign has strict time records, this should take a number of days proportional to the spell's power. (Like 1 day per spell level if you lifted it from a classic source.)
Cool ! What kind of scroll can I learn ? My magic is different from the mage's...
ReplyDeleteJohn Grümph You're specialised in elemental magic right? So that's what you can learn :)
ReplyDeleteJohn Grümph I just reread that. I missed the point: you can also learn any other spell that could reasonably be cast using the stat you're using. You just won't get the benefit of specialisation for it.
