[QUOTE="Sepulchrave II, post: 3044017, member: 4303"] [b]Reining in Some Factors[/b] In the light of reduced Spellcraft Prerequisites for seeds, I'm thinking about the following changes to factors. Not necessarily all of them. 1) Add a second 'Flexible Provision' factor: there would be limited flexibility (+4) and great flexibility (+10). I still haven't decided exactly how to frame these (or limiting factors, for that matter) but the idea is to subsume a great number of ad hoc factors. 2) Making backlash d6 Con damage for every 3 points of mitigation. This reduces the average effectiveness of using backlash by 15% and adds some nasty randomness - which I think backlash needs. Its kind of an ugly mechanic, though. Autoimmolator might need to be retooled if I go this route. 3) Reducing Specialization mitigating factors from -5 to -3 or -2. Actually, -2 would make more sense (a nonepic Specialist gains a +2 bonus on Spellcraft checks when dealing with effects from his specialty school). 4) Reducing the mitigating factors in the epic [divine] feats from -20 to -15. 5) Changing the casting time mitigating factors: 1 round ---> -2 1 minute --> -4 10 mins ---> -6 1 hour ----> -10 1 day -----> -15 1 week ---> -20 1 month --> -30 [/QUOTE]
