  • Honestly, given how they seem to drop off at higher levels I’ve been considering homebrewing different rules for summons.

    My current idea is to keep the scaling consistent, so something like (spell level * 2) - 3. Level 1/2 would be the same (-1, 1 receptively), but then it’d keep incrementing by 2 every level up till a max of level 17 for a level 10 spell. Another option is (spell level * 2) - 2, but I think that might be too strong at the level you get the creature.

    I’ll have to actually play with this rule at a higher level to see if it unbalances it, but IMO it looks like summons just get worse and worse at high level.




  • Honestly, essentials shouldn’t be (majority) privately owned. This includes water, sewage, electricity, most roads, and internet.

    To me, as the cables in the US are privately owned it seems that unless you “luck out”, you essentially have 1 realistic option for internet. I’ve been told that it’s fairly regional, so apparently it’s not so bad in the major cities.

    In ~99% of NZ the internet (fibre) cables are either crown-company owned (essentially state), or joint owned by private/public. This essentially makes EVERY ISP buy their bandwidth off the cable owner. There is no ISP monopoly (only a physical cable monopoly), and just like power companies, changing ISP’s is trivial. I think a lot of europe does something similar too, and apparently some cities in the US do this too.
