[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5798343, member: 957"] Just shooting from the hip with little information about the actual target..... My gut reaction was quite negative. After two minutes of thinking I started coming up with ways to like it. It makes me think of CR. I long ago gave up having a high level of faith in CR. The science of consistently assigning CRs under stable circumstances is complex enough that even if you think you have a handle on it, you can't blindly trust that the guy who wrote the book you are holding does. And then you add in the variations on circumstance. But the practical reality is that if you trust it more as an art and you are willing to take ownership of your game then it ends up working as a really nice little tool despite the voodoo foundation. I think this methodology could work the same for spells. There will be errors. And there will be places where people just really disagree on some value calls. But it has the potential to cut through a lot of issues and get to "more than good enough" in an efficient manner. [/QUOTE]
