With this variant system, a character who has the Spellcasting feature uses spell points instead spell slots to fuel spells. Spell points give a caster more flexibility, at the cost of greater complexity.\r\n\r\nIn this variant, each spell has a point cost based on its level. The Spell Point Cost table summarizes the cost in spell points of slots from 1st to 9th level. Cantrips don't require slots and therefore don't require spell points.\r\n\r\nInstead of gaining a number of spell slots to cast your spells from the Spellcasting feature, you gain a pool of spell points instead. You expend a number of spell points to create a spell slot of a given level, and then use that slot to cast a spell. You can't reduce your spell points total to less than 0, and you regain all spent spell points when you finish a long rest.\r\n\r\nSpells of 6th level and higher are particularly taxing to cast. You can use spell points to create one slot of each level of 6th or higher. You can't create another slot of the same level until you finish a long rest.\r\n\r\nThe number of spell points you have to spend is based on your level as a spellcaster, as shown in the Spell Points by Level table. Your level also determines the maximum-level spell slot you can create. Even though you might have enough points to create a slot above this maximum, you can't do so.\r\n\r\nThe Spell Points by Level table applies to bards, clerics, druids, sorcerers, and wizards. For a paladin or ranger, halve the character's level in that class and then consult the table. For a fighter (Eldritch Knight) or rogue (Arcane Trickster), divide the character's level in that class by three.\r\n\r\nSpell Level\tPoint Cost\r\n\r\n1st\t2\r\n\r\n2nd\t3\r\n\r\n3rd\t5\r\n\r\n4th\t6\r\n\r\n5th\t7\r\n\r\n6th\t9\r\n\r\n7th\t10\r\n\r\n8th\t11\r\n\r\n9th\t13\r\n\r\nSpell list as per Metabolist:\r\n\r\nCantrips: Acid Splash, Blade Ward, Contact, Fatigue, Light, Poison Spray, Shocking Grasp, Spare the Dying, True Strike,\r\n\r\n1st Level Spells: Animal Friendship, Compel Duel, Cure Wounds, Expeditious Retreat, False Life, Grease, Heroism, Inflict Wounds, Jump, Long Stride, Purify food\/ drink, Shield, Sleep\r\n\r\n2nd Level Spells: Alter Self, Barkskin, Darkvision, Detect Poison\/Disease, Enlarge\/ Reduce, Enhance Ability, Gentle Repose, Lesser Restoration, Pass without Trace, Prayer of Healing, Protection from Poison, Spider Climb, Zone of Truth\r\n\r\n3rd Level Spells: Blur, Fear, Feign Death, Fly, Haste, Protection from Energy, Revivify, Slow, Waterbreathing\r\n\r\n4th Level Spells: Deathward, Freedom of Movement, Polymorph, Stoneskin\r\n\r\n5th Level Spells: Contagion, Destructive Smite, Greater Restoration, Insect Plague\r\n\r\n6th Level Spells: Contingency, Find the Path, Globe of Invulnerability, Harm\r\n\r\n7th Level Spells: Regenerate, Anti-magic Field\r\n\r\n8th Level Spells: Holy Aura, Glibness, Clone\r\n\r\n9th Level Spells: Shapechange, Foresight, Astral Projection","equipment":"You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:\r\n\r\n(a) a light crossbow and 20 bolts or (b) any simple weapon\r\n\r\n(a) a component pouch or (b) an arcane focus\r\n\r\n(a) a dungeoneer\u2019s pack or (b) an explorer\u2019s pack\r\n\r\nTwo daggers","features":"Alter Form: \r\n\r\nFlesh Armour\r\n\r\nYour AC can now be calculated as AC 10 + your Dexterity Modifier + your Constitution Modifier.
