[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1716137, member: 478"] Yeah, I don't want to cut it off completely, I'm just a bit worried about the scope. :) And I'm absolutely not worried about skills, but rather those powers, which take a lot of preparation time as a kind of balancing factor (i.e. Sorcery and Conjuration), which is completely negated this way. You could easily prepare hundreds of spells and conjure hundreds of items within a minute then. Or heal your wounds, even regenerate lost body parts, all within a minute of real time. And you could do that everytime it's not in some way impossible to use these powers. And that it what it would lead to IMHO, that the powers would be impossible to use a lot, so it doesn't get too easy. And there's the point with the arbitrary decisions, which I do not really like. I prefer to have most powers work most of the time, since it's kinda boring if you have a power and cannot make use of it. :) One of the "problems" there is the ability to trump to such a place instantly. If it takes time to get there, that's a limit by itself, which will often prevent this, but if you can really get there and back instantly... I guess it would be reasonable to make such trump contacts difficult, since it is even preceded, that trump contacts are not working properly with such a difference in time flow. Of course, Advanced Pattern will not have such a restriction and then we are back at the beginning. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
