Looks like you and BlackJaw have already sussed out the details but I just wanted to add one comment:

I think it's important to try and strip as many of our own preconceptions about the kinds of worlds DMs are going to be creating as possible. Statements like:
Quote:
Antitech zones are exceedingly rare, though null-tech zones are found more often, usually on worlds where sentient life has only recently appeared. On the other hand, antimagic zones are fairly common in some multiverses, and null-magic locations even more so.
Are kind of pointless and potential sources of confusion for DMs who are trying to pull actual rules out of this document. There's no content to this stuff and so it just clutters up the documents.

I think the sparser and more rules-rich we make this, the more useful and powerful it will be.

It's not a criticism of style, I hope you realise. It's not that I think the writing is bad -- I'm just concerned with keeping it as tight as possible.

I'm a born editor -- I'm never happy unless I'm crossing stuff out.
