MulticlassingI like the current system.  I only dislike it when multi- or prestige- somehow overpowers the single-class. <cough> Radiant Servant <ahem>.2. Free MetamagicFor one thing, you must invoke the Incantatrix Rule (level cap) for anything actually cast by the character.  For items, you have to either impose the Sorcerer Rule (full-round) or force the rod to be used at memorization for prepared casters.3. SynergyThis is also a matter of the players realizing that anything they can munchkin, the DM can munchkin better.  A lot of players will exercise restraint here or get permission first.  It's also that damnable power bloat, where WotC forces us to have to say "no" when we want to say "yes" to new material.  Nothing will replace DM discretion.4. Two-Handed WeaponsScaling Power Attack back to 1.5x bonus instead of 2x bonus goes a long way toward fixing this.  Treating Damage Reduction differently (e.g. Monte Cook's hierarchical system) will also help.5. Balancing Per Encounter Instead of Per DayYou weren't very clear about this; I'm not sure what you mean.  One way I'm currently dealing with this is forcing my party to complete an entire adventure in about a day.  I like to think I am teaching them restraint, and showing them how much they can accomplish if they don't respond to every mook with a friggin Flame Strike.6. Neverending BuffsThese are a very good thing, because they keep the party active for more hours per day.  See the previous item.  It's totally stupid to have the party short-term-buff like crazy and do their entire day's work in ten minutes and then have to rest.  Nothing makes this DM angrier.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> 7. Combat Expertise and Power AttackIt's not that complicated.  Reduce the PA bonus to 1.5x instead of 2x.  Limit PA to a +5 the way Combat Expertise is limited.8. Point BuyI have never played a point-buy campaign, so I really don't know what you're talking about.  You're in the wrong game or something.9. RerollsMarvel Comics has a character named Longshot.  Are you saying that he shouldn't get his, uh, chance?  Putting these abilities in the hands of NPCs makes for some fantastic foils!  I can't believe you're complaining about this!  I managed to kill a cleric of Fharlangn (luck domain) with a death slaad's Implosion.  The reroll doesn't always help!10. Magic Item CreationXPs are the best component ever.  When I cracked the 3.0 DMG for the first time (I skipped 2nd ed entirely), this struck me as genius.  I still like it, but I don't like the flavorless gp requirement.So it seems that what bothers you the most is that the DM has to step in and manage.  Rules are the problem, not the solution.</blockquote>
