Am happy with option 5 on this one.

Hi Darrell,
Given that we can anticipate our mages increases (slightly) in intelligence over the levels, how do you want to play 'chances to learn spell' when our intelligence changes? This will obviously be quite important to David L and me - and maybe for Paul and Dafydd as well if they got some unlucky rolls.
Possibilities:
1) Complete re-roll on intelligence increase. (Really generous if you give us this one!)
2) We note down the roll that we made for any failed chance to learn a spell, and then if that roll was good enough for our new intelligence, we can now learn the spell. A simple and 'fair' method, but we do know in advance what spells we might learn. (Not unreasonable - we may feel that we can almost understand a spell, but just can't grasp it. Or its way out of our reach!)
3) As 2, but you roll and keep note of the scores so we don't know. (Far too much work for you, I'm sure!)
4) If our chance to learn a spell increases by n% from an increase in intelligence, we now have an n% chance to learn that spell. (This is definitely wrong.  Consider having had a 90% chance to learn a spell, which you fail. If your 'to learn' chance now increases by 5%, you should have a 50% chance to learn a spell, not a 5% chance).
5) The correct way to do number 4: If your chance increases by n%, then your have an n/(previous chance to fail)% chance to learn the spell. (This now works: If you failed a 90% chance and have a 5% chance increase, 5/10 = 50% chance to learn the spell.)
6) Something else.
