[QUOTE="Ruvion, post: 3921216, member: 878"] emphasis mine. I think having a built-in upper limit for all 'powers' or effects from class abilities and magic item (both active and passive) would serve to limit the X-Mas effect somewhat. This hard limit can mirror how mages cast magic in Arcana Unearthed/Evolved: you pick the powers/effects you want to have access to that day out of list of existing powers/effects, outsourced by class and magic items. This limit can improve over time as you level (ie: higher level characters has higher total effect limit). eg: Level 15 Paladin of the Smitten God: has a limit of 6 effects at any given time. Effects chosen this day (can be changed to per encounter rather than day I guess): 1) Gotta Love That Smite (paladin class ability) 2) Goody Two Shoes Aura (paladin class ability) 3) Knight In Shining Armor (paladin class ability) 4) Flamin' Big Honkin' Sword - [I]clearly an overcompensation[/I] (magic item) 5) Standard Super Hero Cape - [I]red, of course [/I] (magic item) 6) Utility Belt of the Naked Mole Rat - [I]borrowed [/I] (magic item) Let's say the paladin in this example has a list of 7 paladin powers...normally, he can only pick 6 from a maximum of 7, but he gave up access to 3 powers to have access to 3 magic items that day. The math may not be broken, but any kind of arbitrary limit sucks in my humble opinion. :p [/QUOTE]
