An Attempt At An Attrition-Free Spellcasting Archetype
Right, we all know how controversial this general topic of discussion can get, so I'll start by laying out my intentions clearly: the objective of this brew is to try to implement an option for spellcasting classes to cast spells without the usual attrition of spell slots at a sufficient tradeoff, specifically in versatility. The intent is not to buff casters, so if the tradeoffs presented are insufficient, I would want to increase those tradeoffs until they are.
This brew, the Steadfast Spellcaster, is a class archetype much like the Flexible Spellcaster archetype: it can be picked up by any class that can cast spells with spell slots at level 1, has a single and mandatory dedication feat at level 2, and can be summarized as such: rather than have an ever-growing list of spell slots, you only have a tiny number of spell slots, and a significantly reduced number of spells you can learn or prepare, but those spell slots scale up in rank, and you regain those spell slots when you Refocus. Design notes that are not part of the homebrew rules are listed in italics.
Steadfast Spellcaster (1st)
You've unlocked the secret to quickly replenishing your magical reserves, sacrificing your breadth of spells in exchange for spell slots that recover when you Refocus. This class feature alters your spellcasting class feature (such as arcane spellcasting for the wizard or divine spellcasting for the cleric). If you choose this class archetype, you must select Steadfast Spellcaster Dedication as your 2nd-level class feat.
Prerequisites You must have a class that has a spellcasting class feature.
Steadfast Spell Slots Your number of spell slots does not increase as you level up, and you therefore always have the same number of spell slots from your class as you have at 1st level. If you choose this class archetype at a level higher than 1st, you lose any additional spell slots you gain from your class at higher levels. Instead, your spell slots from your class become steadfast spell slots, a special type of spell slot that works differently from other spell slots. You recover 1 expended steadfast spell slot when you Refocus. Your steadfast spell slots also increase in rank as you level up, matching the highest rank of spell you can cast with your class using normal spell slots.
Flexible Prepared Spellcasting If you prepare spells in spell slots, you instead prepare a spell collection during your daily preparations, as with the Flexible Spellcaster archetype. You can cast any spell in your collection by using a steadfast spell slot, and you can heighten the spell up to the slot's rank, similar to a spontaneous caster's signature spells. This archetype doesn't change the way you prepare cantrips.
For the sake of brevity in a fairly loaded post, I'll omit the rules detailing how spell collections work. The idea here is that if you are a prepared caster, this archetype also makes you a Flexible Spellcaster, with all of the caveats around extra spell slots with restrictions, as well as feats and features that refer to or require prepared spells.
10th-Rank Spells If your class has a feature that gives you a 10th-rank spell slot, this archetype doesn't change the way that spell works. The slot is therefore not a steadfast spell slot, and doesn't recover when you Refocus. If you prepare spells in spell slots, you prepare a spell in that slot as normal, and if you have a spell repertoire, you add two common 10th-level spells of your tradition to your repertoire as normal.
Drain Bonded Item Because steadfast spellcasting renders the expenditure of spell slots largely trivial, you can use Drain Bonded Item to allow the casting of any spell in your collection without spending a spell slot, even if you haven't yet cast the spell today. If you are a universalist wizard, you can do this once per day for each rank of wizard spells you can cast.
This is more of a bonus than a core part of the archetype, and is there for players who want to not only cast their class's spells without attrition, but want to do the same with multiclassing. Because steadfast slots are stronger than regular spell slots, I tried to limit the power of multiclassing into a spellcaster by raising the level requirement for the basic spellcasting benefits, and reducing the max rank of the spell slot you'd gain to 7th rank, rather than 8th rank.
Steadfast Spellcaster Dedication (Feat 2)
Archetype, Class, Dedication
Archetype Steadfast Spellcaster
Prerequisites steadfast spellcasting
You gain an additional cantrip from your spell list, and another at 4th level. If you have a spell collection, you prepare these additional cantrips in the same way as your other cantrips. If you have a spell repertoire, you add these cantrips to your spell repertoire as normal.

I really did not enjoy "Magic Hat 9" at all. The flavor was extremely off-putting, with a strange combination of fruits that clashed in an unpleasant way. It left a lingering aftertaste that I couldn't shake for hours. Additionally, the carbonation was way too intense, making it difficult to drink without feeling bloated. I was really disappointed with this beer and would not recommend it to anyone.

I had high hopes for "Magic Hat 9" after hearing good things from friends, but I was left feeling underwhelmed. The flavor profile was very bland and lacked any distinct characteristics. It tasted like a generic beer with no unique qualities. The aroma was also unremarkable, failing to entice me to take another sip. Overall, I found "Magic Hat 9" to be forgettable and wouldn't choose it again in the future.
3. Sarah - 1/5 stars
"Magic Hat 9" was a complete disappointment for me. The taste was extremely artificial and reminded me of a cheap, store-bought fruit punch. It had an overly sweet and syrupy flavor that made it difficult to finish the bottle. Additionally, the carbonation was excessive and left me feeling bloated. I regretted purchasing this beer and would not recommend it to others looking for a quality craft beer experience.
4. Michael - 2/5 stars
I was unimpressed by "Magic Hat 9". The flavor was too sweet and lacked any complexity. It felt like a novelty beer rather than a well-crafted brew. The carbonation was also too high, which made it difficult to appreciate the taste. I found myself forcing down the last few sips just to finish it. Overall, I think there are much better options out there and I wouldn't choose "Magic Hat 9" again.
