My favorite line about magic in the core book is when they talk about why there isn’t a light spell. “Use a torch, you fool!” In DCC, magic is both powerful and dangerous. I think that’s awesome.

This is super helpful. Sometimes having someone say it out loud is all I really need. I've read though the magic a few times and have come away with only a maybe 80% understanding. Honestly, I've left it in the hands of my player who has a magic user. I trust him, but I just let him do the rolls and go with what he says happens. But if I'm going to run this for strangers, I want to have a better handle on it. I've only run DCC a few times so far, but I'm having a ton of fun with it. Was never into D&D, but this captures the things that would draw me to D&D without making me want to pull my hair out the way AD&D & 3rd Ed. did.

I’m not sure if DnD style spell scrolls exist in DCC, but imagining the risk-reward mental calculus when casting a scroll with an unknown side effect… pretty neat! You could cast your own version of a spell, or roll fresh on the d100 table when consuming the scroll. Hmm, I wonder if non-spellcasters could use scrolls too.

Did you get started with DCC after running Tomb of Horrors? The "brutal" aspect of both is something that I can see scaring some people away. I like that it takes the parental role away from the GM in that I don't have to "fudge" things in the favor of the players when they make odd/poor decisions.

At 11:26 you say as an untrained class you roll a d10+Int modifier for your spell check. As I read it, an untrained class gets a d10 and nothing else (except the thief). Am I wrong or does it mean a warrior can only ever succeed in casting a cantrip found on a scroll for example, but never a 1st or higher level spell?

Did you know that turns and rounds are actually different in 5e? A round is from an initiative count until it gets back to it, and a turn is an individual's time to act during that round. So if something limits actions on your turn, it doesn't apply to other creature's actions within the same round. RAW says that if you cast a spell as a bonus action, the only other spell you can cast on your TURN is a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action, but this doesn't stop you from casting spells as reactions on someone else's turn.

When I played with my last group we rolled magic missiles and it healed us on top of the damage! GM wanted to nerf it but we pointed out our spells that basically killed us if we tried to use them. They backed off and it was our most used sleep up to level 4 where we ended.
