While I'm not saying 3.5 is lower magic by any stretch, it is a step in teh right direction. I like to see the benefits of leveling more in the actual character's power, not in what stuff they get.2) Search for threads on metamagic, and a great percent of people on the boards thinks they are too expensive and sometimes too restrictive.3) Have you ever tried to make a relatively high level character's skill lists without using a spreadsheet program? And I'm not talking the guy just gets 4 skills maxed, I mean a well-rounded character. IT takes FOREVER!! Certain skills in most settings are way more important than other ones (listen and spot vs climb and jump), and some classes get all the skills while others get none. I think there's a better way.5) What I mean is allow for a little customization with each spell. Arcana Unearthed, WOT are good examples of allowing a little flexibility in spell use.6) I personally agree the feat system is good. I think WOTC went the wrong way in splitting up multpurpose spells into parts. Also, some spells are so very niche they are only used as scroll spells... and never taken by sorcs.7) Exactly my point. Cha as is interferes with role-playing. Most of its mechanics overlap in areas where dm's like control. So usually the dm interceds which makes cha weaker as a stat. I would like hard mechanics that make cha useful, not just from a roleplay skill perspective. They could branch cha into other areas. For instance, make it more of a fortune stat similar to the paladin's divine grace. Give it a function that is hardwired into the rules instead of putting it in an area where dm's would like their say.</blockquote>
