[QUOTE="Fion, post: 6639237, member: 64365"] Mixing spellcasting or concentration with exhaustion is an interesting idea. High levels of exhaustion are extremely punishing and take nearly a week to wear off so that may need to be tweaked but it's a good option for a wizard or what not to get that nuke out in a last ditch effort or something. Speaking of concentration, below is my homebrew house rule for concentration. I find concentration - while limiting - helps balance magic against melee/ranged. However I still felt it could be expanded slightly to give magic users a little more wiggle room, and thus came up with this magical item.
