“Spellcasting”
At 1st level, you attempt to cast spells, and they only kinda work. See the “Spell” List below. You can know an amount of spells equal to your Knawledge Score, whenever you get knocked unconscious, you forget those spells, and get to respec, choosing new spells to learn. You can only learn and cast spells when you have a spellbook on your person, and are able to open and read it. You can cast an amount of “Spells” equal to your Spellz, if your run out of “Spells” to cast, you can study during a short rest, letting you cast another “Spell,” you can also study during a long rest, which resets your used “Spells,” allowing you to cast them again. “Spells” with the somatic property require a sleight of hand check with a DC of 8. “Spells” with the verbal property require a charisma check with a DC of 8, if this spell is offensive, it is intimidation, if it is defensive, it is persuasion, if it is utility, it is performance of deception, determined by the DM depending on the situation. “Spells” with the material property require an alchemist’s supplies check with a DC of 12, you can expend an amount of Stuff Points to receive a +1 bonus per Stuff Point expended, you regain all Stuff Points at the end of a long rest, though you forgo the benefits of the long rest and cannot stand watch during it.
