[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 1817652, member: 192"] Ump, that took a while to digest. I agree with your general sentiment - Character level additions should not enter global usability right away under most circumstances. But I feel that your idea is needlessly complex. I think it might be possible to simply declare "interfaces" (similar to those that can be used in adventures and character background to access private information) during a proposal on how to access the class/feat/skill/whatever. For example, if Ashnar develops a new spell, he might go and scribe a number of scrolls for teaching purpose, sell them and encourage the spreading of the spell. Along with the other judges, I could declare the interface as "Find a scroll of the spell on sale (assuming it has spread), or visit Ashnar and learn from him. Later on, the spell may also appear in spellbooks." On the other hand, if Ashnar develops the Evocation of Certain Doom, he'll want to keep it to himself, and at most teach it to trusted allies. The interface in this case would be "Find Ashnar (or one to whom the spell has spread) and somehow get him to teach you the spell, or steal a scroll or a spellbook containing the spell from him."
