* Fire
** Background
*** Per balance discussion regarding Undead mortal damage and potential fire DoTs and/or Burning debuffs, the following is proposed for balance adjustments
** Remove Fire's Mortal effect on Undead
** Remove or replace the Mortal mechanic entirely (Holy vs chaotic, Unholy vs lawful, Fire vs Undead, Light vs shadowy, Shadow vs light based)
** Add a balanced Burning mechanic
*** Proposed to have a 'Burning #' where the # indicates the amount of damage taken per round for the duration
*** Review of all spells and effects which have the Fire descriptor an evaluate each as well as all together contextually to determine which may gain a Burning effect, and to what degree. Balance vs Frost and Lightning is key, as is distribution across Sources.
* Economy
** Background
*** There is no existing economy. financial numbers exist in a number of different places, from item cost to value of goods, to income, but no set economy is really determined.
** Proposal 1:
*** A Semi 'Flat' economy, where there is a canonical source, such as Tyr, and other regions have modifiers or shifts in economy based on regional factors.
**** Example: Magical items cheaper and more readily obtained in Arvendor and Sha'Dar, more expensive and harder to obtain in the Northern Wastes
** Proposal 2:
*** An overarching rule set is developed, into which each region's more specific attributes is fed, and the economic scales are generated independantly. This would require more of an app-based approach to calculation and management, but Mike suspects that this would be required anyway., and the development of such an app would make future management much easier.
