[QUOTE="keterys, post: 4874878, member: 43019"] I'd much rather go from the other direction - drop magic item bonuses and increased ability scores, and just give people a point to almost everything every level... but clearly you're going down a different line. I will say that I think going to a 90% chance to hit at 30th is basically a horrible idea, unless you also change how all status effects from powers are done. If the theory is 'I always hit with my stun attacks - including my AoE stun attacks' then I call shennanigans ;) If it's 90% chance to hit and do damage, and 20% chance to do the extra special thing (stun) or 55% chance to do the pretty cool thing (slide), sure... but at that point I think the amount of work required is too much. Now, there are some things in your draft that I think should be considered separately... "Critical fumbles (rolling a 1) occur on any d20 roll." Why even mention this? Nothing to do with the actual proposal as far as I can tell. "Implements gain a proficiency bonus of between +2 to +3." Bad idea on its own, unless you're also changing the defenses of all creatures (ie, those defenses that are lower because weapons are assumed to target AC, and it's a bonus to target something else) or giving a bonus to all non-implement attacks or removing all AC attacks in favor of just defense attacks.
