I'm starting an E6 campaign soon, and the world I had in mind wasn't a low-magic world.
Since on E6 you can only cast spells up to lv 3, it wouldn't fit what I had planned.
So I was thinking about using the Unearthed Arcana Spell Point system (basically having a mana pool instead of per-day spells) and adding a cost value for casting spells levels above what you normally would. (Only if your class would allow it, aka, a bard can't cast level 7 spells)
The formula used was a base value of 100GP * number in Fibonacci's sequence^3
Final value (GP)
1 level above: 100 GP
2 levels above: 400 GP
3 levels above: 900 GP
4 levels above: 2500 GP
5 levels above: 6400 GP
6 levels above: 16900 GP
This way, a level 1 sorcerer that can cast level 1 spells, could cast a level 4 spell for 900GP per spell
on E6, a level 6 sorcerer that can cast level 3 spells, could cast a level 9 spell for 16900GP per spell
(His spells known would be predetermined)
I tried to make it rather inexpensive to cast level early spells, but really expensive to cast higher level spells. What do you guys think of the prices? Should they be higher? Lower?
Edit: I tried to copy paste a chart I had made on excel, but it was horribly formated on the forum, so I just put the final values.
