Advanced Magic - Spell Points System 5e

If you like this module you can buy me a coffee here:

FoundryVTT module for using Spell Point in D&D5e.

Not using spellpoints for your games? Well, you should, spellpoints are much better than slots!!

This module uses the variant rules found in the DMG to allow characters to cast spells using a resource named "Spell Points". It also allows you to create your custom Spell Points / Mana rules and advancement system.
