[QUOTE="Randomthoughts, post: 6067177, member: 6681248"] Yeah, I don't think a lot of changes are [B]needed[/B]. To be clear, a [I]core issue[/I] (imho) is something that warrants new rules that change the current RAW - essentially that the current RAW are broken. I just don't see a lot of those. Sure, I would change a few more things - like making power sources more distinct for my Dark Sun campaign - but that's not a core problem, just a preference IMHO. That's why I don't find magic items to be a core issue; I use Artifacts and Inherent Bonuses too. I just think that it could have been handled a better way to make things more interesting. By the same token, I don't see the math to be a core issue (yet) b/c they are addressed by inherent bonuses (and waiving the feat taxes). OTOH, the current RAW on Rituals is a core issue, at least IMC. They are hardly utilized, for the very same reasons previously identified (cost being the main culprit). The solution I was considering was along the lines contemplated by Balesir here. Finally, another vote for looking at condition tracking. By my definition, it's not a core problem (but it's close). I use tokens that do a relatively good job. But I have to believe that all the different condition durations (EoTNT, EoYNT, etc.) aren't worth the hassle. Keep things simple. [/QUOTE]
