Related, but not the same: http://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/418/

In the Elemental Evil Player's Companion for D&D 5e (http://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/EE_PlayersCompanion.pdf) Constitution is used as the spellcasting ability for genasi racial spells. (pp 9-10)

I'm playing a genasi character now (in http://gamersplane.com/games/60/), so it would be great if you could add Constitution as an option on the dropdown menu for spells. There's another genasi character in the same game, so it isn't just for me...

Thanks in advance! :-)

Not so much a bug as a feature request, but can do, heh.

Changed it. I actually added all the stats in, because seriously... I want a dex based mage. I can imagine a str based mage (it makes sense if you think about it), but a dex based mage? Haven't been able to come up with it yet...

Spell casting through interpretive dance.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT FIRST TOO! And then my second though was slightly more normal, thinking, the most complex sign language in the world.

"Give me a second, I'll cast Thunderstorm." Fingers move into a flurry of motion.

"Jacob... did your finger just bend in 8 places?"

"Yes, it is a level 8 spell".

Hey, thanks Keleth! Sorry for delayed response - too busy actually playing! :-) Sorry for misposting as a bug too.

As for a dex based magic user I'm thinking of a world where magic energy is semi-physical and can be literally woven into spells by the dexterous. In my book Dex makes most sense as the spellcasting ability for monks too - again the idea of literally manipulating the ki and/or of getting your body into the exact right position for the ki to flow...
