[QUOTE="Kinak, post: 6179260, member: 6694112"] I'd considered typing it as an enhancement bonus, but then I'm not sure what I'd do with the normal stat-booster items. I don't mind feats not stacking with buffs, but them not stacking with permanent items is much more uncomfortable. It's sort of like the problem with keen weapons. If you know you're going to have a keen weapon, you can just never take improved critical. If you're stuck with a keen weapon and improved crit, you feel dumb. But if you're getting items crafted, having improved critical buys you +1 to hit and damage. Maybe that doesn't bother other people as much as it bothers me. Bleh, right, spell DCs. That'd end up being a problem. Yeah, I'll have to provide some sliding restriction like I mentioned. Which is unfortunate, because spell casters are the ones who most need the extra simplicity. I'm not terribly worried about that. The attribute system in 3/Pathfinder/Next inspires a lot of weird gamesmanship when +1s are involved. Adding more +1s shouldn't make it much worse and might make it better in some cases. Yeah, looks like a chain of feats is probably the way to go, keep people from rocketing up too fast. Cheers!
