I have a question about the spellcasting DT roll. I may not be reading it correctly. It states 'The Difficulty Target (DT) for all spells is: 10 + Magic User Level + Magic User's BRAIN Bonus.'  This seems to me that you are punished for being higher level. I see in other games where the DT would be 10+spell level and you would try to roll 2d10 + caster lvl + brain bonus to beat the DT and cast the spell.   Am I misreading or not understanding something? I do like the game very much!

The Difficulty Target is the number that will be used by an opposing party trying to counter or resist your spell. Thus the higher your level, the higher the DT for the spell, and the more difficult it is to counter the spell.

So your spell is always successfully cast? 

These spells come from the SRD 3.* system. All of Microlite20 is from that source. Unless the spell calls for a test of some sort they are automatically a success... you just have to pay the cost in HP. The difficulty test comes into play occasionally when you are casting against another magic user who can use a counter-spell against your spell, and monsters that have a natural defense against magic. 

Thank you. I never played any 3.x stuff. I do like MicroliteD20 very much tho. Everything else is too many rules. Thanks for the work you have done with this.
