I also prefer this kind of implementation for wizard staves. They never really fit as spells for me, but I still wanted to use the concept.

Re: New use for XP - Heroic Exploits
Why would that be the case? It's not like Staff spell is the wizard’s only option.

Re: New use for XP - Heroic Exploits
OK, but they have plenty of other offensive spells to pick from. Even in the old rules, the Staff spell was never a 'must have'.

1. List Talents and Spells by their Point Cost. I.e. list all (1) talents together; all (2) talents together, etc. 2. Modify the Point Cost by the old IQ req. I.e. Climbing(2) [1+(IQ9-IQ8)] 3. Each point costs 500XP but Heroes pay half-cost for talents. Wizards pay half-cost for spells Is it a good idea? Probably not, but I'm going to obsessively think about it more now. Thanks a lot! LOL

Re: New use for XP - Heroic Exploits
Which reminds me...
Doesn't your "Staff of Power" de-value IQ and replace it with an XP-based system? ;)

The proof, however, will be dependent on getting the idea into some actual playtesting.

Re: New use for XP - Heroic Exploits
Oh. I thought you had some other 'powers' planned also.

Re: New use for XP - Heroic Exploits
I do. Just testing the waters with the 'staff' portfolio first.
