And part of it is because I have a lazy bunch of players who don't want to learn new game systems. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> And part of it is because I'm lazy myself and don't want to learn a new game system either.I wondered about that with the monk; but given that I've never actually see anyone play one, I wasn't sure if it'd be an issue.The reason I picked sorcerers over wizards was for the slower spell progression and longer metamagic use times. Sorcerers still need to use material components, and spell books is where rituals come from. However, it may end up being better to toss both sorcerers and wizards and have all magic use the "ritual magic" model. (An expert with Spellcraft as a class skill could still make a pretty hefty sorcerer-in-practice, as opposed to sorcerer-in-class.)Well, what magic item powers are you referring to? Most items are of the "+x to y stat" variety, which don't really to that much by way of flashy powers. Stuff like invisibility, flight, teleportation and the like, are precisely the kind of powers people usually don't have in a setting like this, so that when the rare character comes along who actually has a magic carpet or The Precious, it's a big deal and everybody notices. BAB inflation does make the lack of magic armor worrisome; implementing a class-based Defense bonus might ameliorate that a bit, tho.As for item creation, that's a good point, although going by the model as originally posted, it would take a 19th level character to be a 10th level sorcerer. If you keep the standard GP cost for item creation but have considerably less treasure floating around, it's going to be a lot less appealing to tie up a lot of money into items. (Again, tho, if the sorcerer is also removed, item creation feats become a lot harder to come by.)   -The Gneech <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
