It’s You, Not Your Gear: Treasure is reduced 10-15% and permanent ability score boosting items are banned. Instead, characters get a stat increase at every even level (instead of every four levels) and a feat at every odd level.

What do you think?

I like it but with a 20% hit in Treasure...

Feb 08, 2006 15:10:16 I use the attribute boost every even level rule, although I pose the limit that you cannot increase the same attribute twice in a row. I haven't messed with feat progression however, and due to the particulars of the DS campaign I'm currently running my PC's wealth is all screwey, although as far as the value of their magic items is concerned I think they're running about 20%-25% under listed book values.
