A 2nd level discipline would take away 2 points, etc. Different disciplines could be based on different abilities: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">mind blast for Int,</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">divination for Wis,</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">leaping for Dex,</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">temporary hit points for Con, etc.</li> </ul>She would only know a limited number per level similar to other classes, but she could use them potentially more often (maybe until a 6 Ability Score?) but for a price. At higher levels she is more power but pays a higher price (and would probably select Ability Score Increases in the areas of her favorite disciplines). The build-balance could be tricky, but the potency/penalty aspect could add to adventure/RP.What do you think? Suggestions?</blockquote>
