Feature Request: Sorcery Point Conversion

[evilcj925]

A feature to manage a sorcerers conversion of spell slots in to sorcery points and vice versa.

There is mod for that :)

That mod handles spell points being used over spell slots. The Sorcery Points of a sorcerer work differently. They are used along with spell slots, and allow a sorcerer to convert the points in to spell slots, or slots can be converted in to points. The points are used for metamagic. Spells still require spell slots to be cast. This is part of a sorcerers Flexible Casting class feature.
The mod you pointed out seems to override spell slots completely, and prevents them from being used.
The requested feature would, in my head, would have a way to subtract spell slots and adding to the sorcery points, the amount added depending on the level of spell slot used. There would also need to be a way to subtract from the sorcery points, and regain spell slots, a different cost of amount of points based on the level of spell slot regained. Currently I use the primary resource to track sorcery points, as there is not really a easier way to track them.
A pop up menu when the feature is used that has a selection of what you want to convert, points or slots, then depending on the choice, it reads the value of remain points and gives you a selection of what level slot you want to regain, then subtracts the points, and adds the slot back. Or if you choose to regain points, gives a list of available slots, then depending the on the level selected, adds the correct amount of sorcery points back.
This can done by all sorcerers, but the wild magic subclass and the wild magic surge feature means finding a way to have the conversion feature not trigger it.
This sounds like a project......

Ok, I think I know what you want. Not the most elegant solution since I am not really good at this and just mangled a bunch of code I found plus edited it together but here are 2 macros that will let you convert spell points to spell slots and vice versa.

In both, you have to edit which spell slot you want to use and how many spell points you want to use as well as choose were should the spells points be taken from (resources or feature charges). So basically you would have 10 macros, 5 for spellpoints->spellslot for each level of spell and 5 for spellslots->spellpoints for each level of the spell.

Be advised, the change to spell slots won't show until you re-open the character sheet for some reason, and also token has to be selected, character sheet does not have to be open.

I did this mostly for myself since I did not realize I need this too so... :D
