I like a lot the way im understanding the Spell Points system
The thins is i believe ive got something wrong
Can anyone clarfy this problem for me please
On the SRD talbe: Spell Points per Day, a 4th lvl Wizard has 11 Spell points per day.
The example they give says this:
"For example, Boredflak the 4th-level wizard has an Intelligence score of 16. When using the spell point system, he would prepare four 0-level spells, four 1st-level spells (three plus his bonus spell for high Int), and three 2nd-level spells (two plus his bonus spell for high Int). These spells make up his entire list of spells that he can cast during the day, though he can cast any combination of them, as long as he has sufficient spell points."
this wizard has 1 Bonus 1st-lvl Spell Point for Int and 4 Bonus 2nd-lvl Spell Point for Int
All should add up to 16 spell points, but the example character uses only 13 (9 Class SP p/day + 4 Bonus SP p/day)
Did i understando something wrong??
maybe did wrong math??
can anyone help me here??
For example, Boredflak the 4th-level wizard has an Intelligence score of 16 and is capable of casting 2nd-level spells. The number on Table: Bonus Spell Points at the intersection of the 16-17 row and the 2nd column is 4, so Boredflak has 4 extra spell points to spend each day (in addition to the 11 points he gets for being a 4th-level wizard). If Boredflak's Intelligence were increased to 20 because of a fox's cunning spell or a headband of intellect +4, he wouldn't gain any additional bonus spell points, since those effects produce temporary changes, not permanent changes. However, when he reaches 5th level, his bonus spell points would increase from 4 to 9 (since he is now capable of casting 3rd-level spells and thus uses that column), and his overall total would increase from 15 to 25.
That means he gets 11 points for being a 4th-level wizard.
Since his Int is 16 and he can cast 2nd-level spells, he gets 4 extra spell points.
Note that the bonus spell points aren't cummulative. You don't get the 1 spell point for 1st AND the 4 sp for 2nd. You only get the 4. If you advance to 5th level (and don't change the int score); you'll be able to cast 3rd-level spells and get the 9 bonus spell points (total).
