How to desing an character editor for adnd system? I use V..

Archived from groups: alt.games.adnd (More info?)

Dear all,

as title.
Which attributes are those I should put them into my editor panel?

And if I want to add "mp (mana point)" to limit the a wizard( but each
spell's power will be rised up), what kind of suggestion you can give me?

The spell slot decides how many spell a wizard can memory, and the mana
point decides how many times a wizard can cast a spell.
For example, Mr. Lin is a wizard. Let me suppose that Mr. Lin knows 5*Lv1
spell, but he is limited with 3*spell slots. If he didn't put "magic
missile" into his spell slot, he can't use it even with full energy (mp).
Otherwise, if he has not enough mp, he still cannot cast the "magic
missile". But if he chooses "magic missile" 3 times to fill his 3 spell
slots only when he prepared his spell book this morning, today, the power of
his "magic missile" will be up to 1+(3-1)/2 = 2 times. Because he prepared
this spell more harder than else although he cannot cast other Lv1 spell.

In a word, it will change the balance of wizard and warrior. I will reduce
the wizard's hp to find the new balance.

Thanks for any input.

Best Wishes,
Ming.
