Subject: Re: Solving the Memory Problem
I like the changes proposed by Swiftwynd. There is a matter of fine tuning so memory won't become useless. But the 3 ideas seem a nice change.
The main problem with the system in place is that you are forced to put all your points leveling up on the main attribute, or else you become weaker. If this is corrected, even the system in place would be quite nice.
While I agree the current Primary stat system needs some fine tuning, I actually think a moderate power difference is fine between someone maximizing their offensive stat and someone who wants to trade off some of this raw power for more versatility, defense, or damage type flexibility.
I think it should be slightly easier for a Specialist build to have more point flexibility to fully invest in their primary stat for their chosen Skill School, and with less stress to pick up Memory, while the more you Hybridize, the increased value and focus you should place on Memory.
This leaves Specialists with options of branching into more survivability, more crit chance/initiative, or more Memory to splash in some Basic and Advanced skills from other schools.
