[QUOTE="Pierson_Lowgal, post: 3806509, member: 34367"] [b]I'm doing this in my current game[/b] In an effort to move emphasis from magic items to characters, and with the help of ENWorld posters, I developed the following system to replace stat boosting magic items, both of the gauntlets of ogre power and tome variety. Stat boosting spells like bull's strength are allowed, but the overlap with the 'natural' enhancement bonus just as they would with magic items. Campaign is at sixth level so I can't actually vouch for its success, but I'm very confident.
