I mean some of this isn't really "balance." Some of this is "fix things that are clearly bugs." Needing to pass two saves to have a hold spell take effect for even one turn cannot be working as intended. That's basically "Creatures roll with advantage against some CC spells."
The first two parts of my post for sure are pure bugfix. My concern is these two bugs specifically have existed throughout the whole of early access - so it's unclear that Larian are aware of them. This is also why I'm keen to get some advice on how to best raise these issues in a way that they get fixed.
In terms of what I'm suggesting
- First two are bugfixes I want to raise
- The scroll use restriction is something I firmly believe the game needs for balance but I doubt Larian will change. How do we suggest balance changes? I'm guessing just by posting here? But how do we achieve any sort of consensus on what the whole community agree on as far as balance is concerned? A single thread by one user - often with conflicting discussion, isn't going to get noticed or actioned on.
- The rest of my post is more balance suggestions (a caster item and some proposed changes to the spell action economy)
