[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 8516707, member: 6871653"] Good point. This is a starting point, but at least I think it will have some advantages: [LIST] [*]Make proficiency bonus more important than the ability mod. [*]Try (and probably not succeed, but still) to make Score kinda important. [*]Make monsters tougher when compared to PC (I'll probably halve the monster's HP though). [*]Make stat increases more rewarding instead of being automatic (no 20s at level 8, frex). Creatures/Character with exceptional stats will be something impressive, not expected. [*]Make Advantage an important bonus instead of being just ''cool but not necessary''. [/LIST] With bounded accuracy and proficiency bonus, I think character will still be somewhat powerful while making ''power ups'' more related to the actual adventuring rather than planed on the character sheet. I intend to make other changes, like eliminating most cantrips (a part for mage hand, thaumaturgy, prestidigitation, minor illusion, eldritch blast for warlock, druidcraft etc) and buffing them to be 1st level spells.
