[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7815962, member: 2629"] I built two house rules for these ideas, but found them unnecessary. I don't suggest removing attunement, but you might consider altering it. I was going to allow players 15 'points' of attunement, and assign each item an attunement score. Most items would be 5 points (and none are more than 5 points), but some are as low as 1 point (many common magic items would be one, which conditional uncommons might be 2 or 3). For concentration, I actually have the rule in place, but nobody uses it. Spellcasters have concentration points. They are your level as a spellcaster divided by 2 (and rounded up). The spell level a spell is cast at determines how many concentration points a spell takes. Each spell beyond the first requires an additional concentration point. So, at 5th level you have three concentration points and can concentrate on two first level spells cast at first level (1 CP for the first spell and 2 for the second spell cast at first level). An 11th level caster would have 6 CP and be able to concentrate on a 2nd and 3rd, or alternatively a 2nd and two 1st. [/QUOTE]
