A lot of great ideas, and I would like to offer my input.Mechanical Compatibility/ OGLI really think that this is a great idea. I do not know how OGL publishing would function, but I think it is a good idea. But I also think that we, as posters on the manifest, need to determine whether we truly want OGL or not. Make no mistake, this is the first priority. We cannot reasonably re-haul any other subsystem of the game if we do not know how much we may or may not need to gut in the first place. And I think that if OSRIC can do it, so can we. And like Pathfinder, the new system if published under OGL needs to be free of plagerism - whatever we determine that means.Tweaks encounters, or what could be used in their place, and I think that needs to be determined first in encounter design, and our product could help by enlightening the DM on what archtypes are used. The fight could be a "set-piece," or it could be a giving-chase scene, a being-chased scene, a multiple-scene skirmish, a stealth mission, or an ambush. Those are just a few ideas off the top of my head, and I am sure there are more. Each of these archtypes have certain rules of genre, and those rules combined with monster rules should inform how the encounter is bu[my computer has gone wacky and suddenly deleted a significant portion of this post following "tweaks." I will fill this in later. I believe that most of what I am trying to convey gets through. I would very much like to be involved with this project/product.]Quick note on rituals and rest - check out my thread on the subject of "adventuring day." I think most problems could be solved by having the extended rest be 48 hours, but I also think that healing surges and "daily powers" should get more alternate uses.On the note of powers, I have been wondering since the first day why there was not a power-scaling system. Since powers have to be replaced anyway, I say why not. When you have to start replacing powers at Paragon Tier, you don't learn a new technique, you learn to use it better. On the note of epic tier, I agree that there should more or less be an entire focus group dedicated to this subject. With lost of feedback drawn from the community. Epic should be Herculean, Final Fantasy limit breaking, Gurren Lagann heaven-piercing, Jack (of the Lanturn fame) Devil-tricking, etc et al ad astra. I daresay there should even be a Divine tier, for characters who ascend mortality... maybe.</blockquote>
