[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1563087, member: 5777"] Allowing casters to wear armor for a cost certainly isnt broken, although I dont know about the particular ones you mentioned. In my campaign I allow anyone who is proficient with the armor they are wearing to ignore arcane spell failure. It is much better that way. There have been zero balance issues, especially as with the core you can get that shield you mentioned. It is all you really need anyway, bracers of ac tend to be much better for the caster. Having the shield allows you to have the armor enhancements you want, and get a boost, without spell failure. No big deal. The powers with the very high dc though (energy missile in particular) have been debated over, but it seems to come out very well compared to other spells/powers of higher levels. Actually decently balanced even with the way it scales, strangely enough. Quicken needs some help, I am surprised it just keeps on getting printed as is. The cost it takes to use it is so incredibly high for its benefit that I just dont get it. It suffers from similar problems as maximise as well, both need some kind of help. Augmentation is a pretty nice ability, it definately deserved to work its way in. It is a much better idea than most of the metamagic/psionic out there anyway ;) Now there just needs to be a few here and there that emulate persistant..lol [/QUOTE]
