(based of a doubling in damage every 4 spell levels)Looking at this says that damage scales VASTLY faster than hp and AC, and that Con and Dex might be slightly underpowered.  Since I can't look at Ascention to see how it's handled, this might not apply, dunno.  So possibly an increase in dex should also increase movement speed of something of the sort? Instead of a flat +1 per HD per 2 points of Con, say that every 30 points of con doubles your HP or something like that?</blockquote>
