Difficulty Level?

[Kovoston]

A while back there was a game master screen (Rifts Screen??) that had magic and each of the spells had a game mechanic that I liked called a "Difficulty Level" (D.L.
I can not find the screen and yet wanted a refresher on what the game mechanic was. Can anyone help me out on this?
Thanks!

Isn't that just the level the spell is? like level 1 or level 5?

This is the first time I've heard about this about the PB system. However, with the old spell system (spells per day) there were spells that counted as more then one spell towards the SPD count.

The only other thing that comes to mind is it was a GM screen that some GM made up with his own house rules on it. With one of them being that each spell have a difficulty level attached to it. With the PC having to roll above/below the DL to cast the spell correctly.

I think the difficulty level was for learning the spell.
I cannot be sure however as I never used the GM screens.

Thanks guys! This is going to drive me crazy, I'll keep looking for it and post if I find it.

Spell Learning Rules (Optional)

Each spell is assigned a Difficulty Rating (D.R.).
1-Simple
2-Average
3-Moderate
4-Difficult

There are 3 levels of Success/Failure for each D.R.
Misread-PPE spent
Misread-no PPE spent
Success! adds to next roll (cumulative)

Know Spell Permanently: Base % + % per each success.


that is the layout from the Magic and Psionic GM Screen.
