Warning: This rule is now just speculation. I didn't tought too hard on it, and isn't playtested at all.
Before I'm start, this rule exists to further extend the Automatic Bonus Progression.
In this rule the characters are more powerful individuals by themselves, and don't need to have to worry to buy magical gear that gives them access to supernatural abilities. This mystic skills come through hard training, focus, faith, sheer determination or some magical lineage that allows incredible feats. To balance this now more powerful (yet less versatile) heroes, decrease character wealth by level to 1/10 the normal amount, and all slot equipped items are gone (but the held and consumables ones still exist).
At each level you gain Ability Points (AP) equal to half of your wealth by level to spend "buying" magic abilities from items. Some rules do apply:
- You can only buy slot items with AP. So, no way to buy Bags of Holding to make your pockets large.
- You cannot have two different abilities in the same slot. So you can't buy both Belt of Might Hurling and the Blinkback Belt, as they use the same slot.
- Abilities that are applied to weapons (such as Brilliant Energy), armor (such as Brawling) or shields (such as Bashing) must be attuned to the same item that the character attune his automatic bonus progression.
- This abilities are considered to be Supernatural, so they cease to work in Anti-Magic Field and similar effects. Unlike normal Supernatural Abilities, the Innate Magic Abilities still can be target by Dispel Magic and be supressed (use your character level as the "item" caster level"), and a Mage's Disjunction makes all your Abilties to cease to function by 1 minute.
- All limited uses of an item ability (such as Luck Blade Wish), once spend, is gone for ever. Even if by retraining you receive this item ability again, it remain spent.
- Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered class level after that (6th, 8th, 10th, and so on), you can retrain one of your abilities. You get a full refund of that ability and can buy another one in place.
