Talk:Quantity Mage (5e Class)
What is up with the weird spell slots?
Quanity mage is focused on having the spell level progress of a half spell caster combined with the magic power of a full spell caster. This balance is created by using the Variant rule: Spell Points from DMG book. At each level of a normal full spell caster, all spell slots are converted into spell points. By using those spell point, we create new lower spell slot to fit in a half spell caster progression.
