<strong>NPC switch/other writer</strong><br/><br/>I have no general objection to another writer, just two concerns:<br/><br/>- The pace of play will suffer. Just a given, the only question is how much it will suffer.<br/><br/>- We did some very generous house ruling with Aneirin in the beginning. Would the other writer accept the fact that her character is not quite as 'powerful', or would we have to go through the headache of trying to balance all this?<br/><br/>Should these concerns be alleviated I would not mind a second player, in particular for a female PC so you have your hands full. :)<br/><br/><strong>Level up</strong><br/><br/>And here I had hoped to get more than an 'all good ideas' from you :) Especially a comment on my concern regarding Greater Invisibility.<br/><br/>Should I interpret your last comment such that you also would prefer Dimension Door as the new lvl 4 spell?<br/><br/><strong>Other rewards</strong><br/><br/>Personally I think that even with your reduced rate the availability for non-consumeable magical items is still way too high. And even for consumables beyond simple healing remedies I am on the fence. A Wand of Fireballs ... uhh, rather not.<br/><br/>Something like a ring of protection +2 or a sword +1 should not be something one can just purchase, period. To compensate for this we introduced enchantment points, now if we still allow regular magic items - even at reduced availability - alongside them that would sort of negate the whole point.
