[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 8022694, member: 58197"] To address the overspecialization problem: What if the character could consume magic items in order to gain permanent bonuses? The number of spellcasters you encounter is highly variable, but most campaigns have a reasonable amount of magic loot. There would have to be some kind of attunement-equivalent, of course, to keep it from getting out of hand. Maybe you could have three "power slots," each of which can contain the essence of a single item, gaining power based on the rarity of the item. So, for example, you might have Uncommon essences in two slots and a Rare essence in the third. If you find a Rare item, you can consume it and replace one of the Uncommons with a Rare. As a bonus, the party now has a way to dispose of all the magic items nobody can really use. :) [/QUOTE]
