1. What are Spell Slots?

Spell slots represent the magical energy a character can use to cast spells in Dungeons & Dragons and similar RPG systems. Each spell cast consumes one slot of the spell's level or higher.

2. How Spell Slots Work

Spell slots are determined by:

Where:

• Class — The character's spellcasting class
• Level — The character's level in that class

Explanation: Different classes gain spell slots at different rates. Full casters (like Wizards) gain slots faster than half-casters (like Paladins).

3. Spell Slot Progression

Details: Spell slots increase as characters level up, allowing them to cast more spells and higher-level spells. The progression varies by class.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select your character's spellcasting class and their level in that class (1-20). The calculator will show your available spell slots by level.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use higher-level slots for lower-level spells?
A: Yes, you can always use a higher-level slot than a spell requires, often with increased effect.

Q2: Do multiclass characters get more slots?
A: Multiclass spellcasters use a special calculation that combines levels from different classes.

Q3: How do I regain spell slots?
A: Most classes regain all slots after a long rest, though some features allow partial recovery.

Q4: What are cantrips?
A: Cantrips are simple spells that don't consume spell slots and can be cast at will.

Q5: Do all classes use the same slot progression?
A: No, Wizards, Sorcerers, Bards, Clerics, and Druids have full progression, while others like Paladins and Rangers have slower progression.
