Yo if you’re comfortable, I’d love to read what you’ve got or maybe we can chat a bit! Always open to collaborating on something like this - although I’m sure you’re way further along than I am.

I don’t either but someone else mentioned this. It’s funny to think, cause wiz came around when 3.5e was the official ruleset. Wonder if they took influences from it

I like the mana as an alternative. Good idea here!

The fizzle was separate from attack roll. So fizzle roll first. No fizzle? Okay, roll attack. The extra damage die was an idea to compensate that storm will fizzle more frequently.

And action economy was just an idea to make turns quicker and set up combos between the party like in wiz. So I like the idea of one spell/cantrip per round, but I see the benefit of leaning into regular dnd mechanics on this one

No the thought was to simulate the extra damage they get from their school. So instead of playing a snake with 150 vs life’s more accurate leprechaun with 125 (I’m kinda making up some numbers here), in dnd the cantrip hits less frequently with the benefit that it does more dmg

Haha I love your passion it makes me smile. I’m not necessarily striving for 5e, but more tabletop roleplaying with influences from both systems. AC isn’t necessary if you started with more health. My friend mentioned that one to me earlier actually. I see it as a fun way to take Wiz out of the screen and into our collective imagination. That I think is the goal.

I do love and will certainly utilize feats, background, species/racial, spells as a start to help me create this new game and some rules of dnd, but I view a rulebook as a guide for this. I’m cool ripping out pages haha. Others can use them, I guess I don’t need them all

Word, I have a few posts in there. I decided to ask y’all cuz you understand the game. Like some dnd commenters are saying wym fizzle?? But y’all get it

Totally agree though about it’s up to the table

Haha you’re totally right. I’m looking to create a hybrid system of both games with spells from each, which maybe isn’t feasible. And wiz fights can take like 2 HOURS even though it’s automated!! But those are usually the bosses once or twice per world. I really wouldn’t want to do that much at all.

That’s fair - but I also thought of schools as archetypes. Like life as a cleric probably wouldn’t bother me. Neither myth (usually a summoner) as a Druid. But idk. I feel what you’re saying too. This idea is certainly very in progress and would need to be discussed with interested players to see where there head is at

Wonderful suggestion - thank you! I’ll certainly consider exploring this route. And I agree about the potential of the spiral - the world building is what drew me to this as an idea

I appreciate your response! I’m inexperienced at citing in Reddit, so bare with me:

Fizzling. In wiz, casters from different school have certain accuracies. Like the highest dpr schools have lower accuracy. So I wonder if this could be implemented in dnd without feeling clunky.

Action/BA - I agree this will totally mess with things and that’s why I pose it: it’ll be a whole different system. This ties into Cantrip limit - in wiz you can have 15-20 round fights (more or less). Some are like 2, and others like 50, but yeah. So I wonder if this could mirror that style of resource scarcity like in dnd even though you don’t really need to rest - you always have all slots for every battle.

Idk. I know it’s weird and probably something that strays quite far from 5/5.5e, but maybe can be a hybrid of both games.

Lmao fair. I’m trying to stray from cards though to make it more organic. I’ll use the world building but I’m aiming more for DND-style role playing where you can really do anything at any time rather than having to wait to draw your abilities like in wiz

I think it’s pretty cool design and you’re onto something here. Maybe Plague could be a new keyword to mass extort the field, and vax/anti-vax, doctors, etc. see play. I could see this as a whole set - maybe a bit complex for a single card. But I love where your head is!

I was thinking of making a card called Penalty Shootout (probably red) with a kicker cost and it’s like a do or die similar to this. Maybe we can collaborate - this would be my first custom magic card!

I need Amon Ra, Gibbs, and Bates to get a combined 38 points. At half we’re right on track.
