Just an FYI. I will actually be out of town this coming weekend. A wedding. Hurrah. A 6 hour drive across two states. On memorial day. Hurrah...

The next weekend (June 1st weekend) I'll be at a local face to face convention.

I'm probably only taking an iPad this weekend and we're going to BFE Tennessee so if I have network access, it may not be the best. Next weekend i'll try to check in but with the whole gaming and sleep and that eating thing fighting for time, I may not. :)

I'll try to make sure a Bot Me section is updated if anyone needs to bot me to keep things moving on.

In Starfinder, can you use higher spell slots to cast lower spell slots? I have full level 2 spell slots, but out of level 1's, so am I out of magic missiles?

I know you can 'downcast' the variable level spells. Things like Mind Thrust and Mystic Cure. I do not know if you can do so with non-variable spells. Would have to pull the rulebook out and look into it.

I didn't see anything in the rulebook that says I can downcast things like magic missile, but the rulebook is thick and things like that can be easily missed.

OK, got curious, opened the book. Found the pertinent line, it says that a spells level is static unless it is a variable spell. So no, sadly, you can't downcast Magic Missile.

Makes sense to me though!

Wow, what a rip, the only edition of D&D where you can't downcast Magic Missile or rather cast it a level 2. All the level 2 spells I can learn suck. Except for stuff like invisibility and ultility spells and those aren't damage spells. I have to roll to hit, there are no autohit level 2s.

Hello all. Just an FYI. I am heading out of town and driving across 2 states to visit families starting Friday morning. I won't be back until the NEXT Saturday. I will have network access for most of the trip but will probably be slower replying. Could be faster, just depends on what's going on. I think it's Monday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon that I may be (gasp) reverting back to the 1800's with no network at all.

If I am a bit slow, feel free to bot me!

Hey Data! I found it! It wasn't in the general Magic section, on the bottom left of page 119 of the core rulebook it says Technomancers can use higher level slots to cast lower level spells!

So yes! You can cast Magic Missile using level 2 slots!

Instead of a day job role, Lykos will be rebuilding Nakondis (one of my slotted boons). I have to succeed at a DC 16 profession check.

Profession (lab scientist): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Success! Thank you very much for running!
