It makes sense that higher level spells should be worth more than lower level spells.Glad you like it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />quote Flatus Maximus: And I've also been thinking that the cost for a non-core feat should be lowered, though 0 or 1 sounds too low....it only depends on how you want gimp the fighter guy really... it's your call.Obviously, all caster-realted feat should have a steep price attached to them (Reserve feats I'm looking at you... albeit I find it goes in the good way (all day useful, toned down abilities, ala Warlock), it only increase the shine of the caster guy, without taking anything from him)quote Flatus Maximus: Regarding the skill points, let me try to rephrase: For 5 points at 1st level, a PC's skill points are calculated as if +1 to Int modifier, for that and each subsequent level. For example, a wizard would have (3+Int)*4 skill points at 1st level, and 3+Int skill points at each subsequent level.Ok, I see now! your option is indeed stronger than Open minded... in the long run. I think it will depends on how long the campaign is supposed to go on (level wise)quote Nifft: For the Monk, I can't think of anything that would help, other than being replaced by the Swordsage.I absolutely agree with that (there is a reason ToB has been renamed Tome of Replacement in some circles <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> )quote Set: I don't do Gestalt, but the idea of Gestalting a Monk and a Soulknife sounds hot!I once followed a project to mesh these to in a class (no gestalt) on the official forum, nice idea but the project stopped.combining 2 weak classes can have a balanced result.quote Tequila Sunrise: This system of yours forces players to choose between improving their characters' power (feats, ability boosts, etc) or make their character a little different mechanically (which in most cases is not a power improvement).I must say that I agree with this statement (as I pointed out in the 0-cost feats)It's a common fallacy to view new as more powerful: new *seems* more powerful because so few people really understand how it works, and how to counter it. This is true for a scope far larger than DnD, and it has consequences if the DM is not in the few.</blockquote>
