[3.5] Skill-based Arcane/Divine Spellcasting [PEACH]

[Pie Guy]

You're trying very hard to make it so that a caster has a 50% chance to cast a spell of his level. Instead of "Spellcasting does not function as a normal skill at all." why not just have Level 1 spells have a 90% chance to work, level 2 80%, and so on. Metamagic and increasing DCs and all that other fun stuff can increase or decrease by increments of 5%. If you want the balancing factor of spells to be hit-or-miss, and make it hard to change the chance of success, then I think that's the way to go.

And maybe sorc. 20 can reduce all casting percentile by 5, and wizard 20 reduces casting percentile for ten specific spells or something.
