Anyhoo, you said:



Which was more or less the point of it--it's just a bit of D&Dism and not too dissimilar to the standard DF clerical spell lists. That, and I really hate the prerequisite system. Any system where Haircut has a longer prerequisite chain than Explosive Fireball is kinda messed up. I wouldn't use this system in any other sort of game, because, as you say, it doesn't allow for a character with wide knowledge but low power, but it does kinda help to model the struggling apprentice versus the grand master that you find in D&D-style games.

(BTW, if you did deliberately delete your post, I'm sorry for re-posting it. Let me know and I can delete this one, too.)

I decided to delete that post, because it wasn't constructive. I have no problem with you reposting it, I just found that it was more spam than not :)

edit: As I write this response I realize that it again isn't constructive. Damnit :D

edit2: To add something with a little more content: I just think that those standard prerequisites make more sense than Magery as a prerequisite. Magery feels too arbitrary to me, whereas it makes sense (to me) that you have to learn create fire and shape fire to cast something like a fireball. But that is so far off the topic here, I am just telling you that so you may understand my initial post regarding your leveled system.
