Additionally, You don't have to research/find/trade for skills like rage and channel that are going to be used until the cows come home. You buy it, it's yours.cole45 wrote:because parry will be used every single fight, but counter-spell is only useful is someone else casts.
Craftsmen have access to a limitless number of skills, with enough time invested into it, allowing them to make passive magic items (that's really what exotic are)
I think 50 to 100 per rank is a high, and somewhere around 25to could be feasible. Since we've done away with spell books, we could impliment a 'memory' system. Off the number of spells you've purchased with skill points for each rank, pick the spells you want to cast that event, or day, scene, or however it's decided BEFOREHAND and you can't change it with any amount of meditation and study.
There's so many ways to come to a solution, we can't impliment every suggestion, but we can brainstorm different means to an end.
