Spell Costs
The cost listed for adding a spell to a spellbook is the scribing cost, and does not include the normal fee charged by the supplier. That means that every non-free spell added by normal purchase (the vast majority, in my experience) is going to have to have a custom cost entered. Shouldn't there be a check box for this?
|
Discussing it with my players, I think what I'd really like to see on the Spell Purchase screen is four choices: Scribe, Purchase, Custom Cost, and Add To Free List (as opposed to Buy For Free). My preference would be that adding 0-Level Spells to the Free Spells did not reduce the number of Free Spells available, but if I had to do that with an Adjustment it would be clunky but functional.

This is something that we discussed but didn't have time to get into last week's release. :) We're hoping to have improved functionality for this in place soon.
|
Something else occurred to me; while I see the benefit in tracking free spells to prompt the user to add them to the spellbook when their character levels up, is it really necessary to split the spellbook display into multiple sections? As far as I know there isn't a bit of mechanical difference once the spells are chosen and in the book. If you really want to make them obvious, you could use an icon or color them green or whatever.
|
If there wasn't a split, how would we know whether the user wanted to add this spell as a bonus spell or a purchased spell? With two tables, we can determine that based on which table the user adds them to.
|
That doesn't mean you have to split the display. We find the new display clumsy, and it will only get more so as the characters level up.
And I suggest a way to know how they wanted to add it above: have an "Add as free spell" checkbox. |

I agree that the ability to type in a custom cost is very good idea but not setting the default cost to "purchased" instead of scribe. |
This is post will most likely get me in trouble from Colen/Aaron. But the best idea is have an option on the "Configure" your hero to default to Purchase Price or Scribe cost. :D
Then "everyone" is happy. :) |
