Action points offer options to negate spells like an action point to reroll failed saves and even another action point to make a second chance reroll to saves or SR the next round. Action points to boost weapon damage. Action points to confirm crits without another roll. These favor non-casters or are a second or third chance to avoid a spellcaster's spell's effect.Default Trailblazer removed all Item Creation feats except for consumable items.With the rest mechanic non-casters get their all their spent class abilities back with 10 minutes rest; Spellcasters only get a subset of their class abilities (spells) back with the same 10 minute rest, a full night rest brings back all their spells.Combat reactions are actions every character can perform when it is not your turn, all of them are tailored for non-spellcasting. In addition to flanking a target (granting a +2 bonus to attacks), a character can use a combat reaction to grant their ally another +2 bonus to attack the flanked target and the ally can grant the extra +2 bonus back. +4 bonus total with good tactical positions. Of course characters can grant the combat reaction bonus to attack without flanking a target but instead just standing side by side to each other blocking a corridor.Probably the best way to tame spellcaster classes is to tackle their class feature, their spells' effects. Trailblazer only took a handful of spells to their redesign-shed. Dispel magic, polymorph, and summon monster being the big ones. I'd rather the spellcasters be brought down a bit more than the non-spellcasters get brought up more. That way lies Pathfinder classes, which I feel are far too bloated with bling.</blockquote>
