Magic Point System

SAGA Rules

by Eric Jwo

One of the things I didn't like bout the 5th age system was the lack of experience. If a warrior or mage in regular AD&D raise in levels, then they get thing, like more spells, or a better THAC0. What frustrated me in 5th Age was that there were no rules for gaining experience. If a warrior goes from Champion to Master, shouldn't he be able to hit monsters better, to put it crudely? Shouldn't a mage get more magic points? I know that rules said that a player has a chance to increase an attribute, but look at the chances! So I'm developing a system in which player's can get bonuses for increasing in Reputation. After all, what's the fun in playing the game if your mage can only have 49 magic pts., or a warrior can never attain a Trump bonus for attacking?

You just multiply this number to the player's reason score to get the player's current supply of magic point's.

Note: This point system is also used for mystics!
