   * All magical effects that scale off a character's attributes, DP, and skills only account for the character's magically unmodified attributes. This includes spell effects which force contested checks, and applies to both parties of the contested checks.
   * Psions cannot buy a number of total ranks in a spellgroup exceeding twice the group's relevant attribute. (Ex: Psions cannot buy more than 2*HEA psychometabolism spells.)

+  * The elven racial bonus to MMOD may instead be applied to LMOD.
-   * Modifications to an item should only be made if permission has been given from the GM who originall wrote the item.
+  * If a character's DP pool reaches an amount below zero equal to their maximum DP, their body is destroyed. If the damage doubles this threshold, there's nothing left but red mist.
+===== Item Guidelines ======
+   * Modifications to an item should only be made if permission has been given from the GM who originall wrote the item. If that GM is inaccessible, then refer to the rules coordinator or an approvals GM.
+   * Magic items that modify other magic items should be given out sparingly. In general, any modifications to an item should be made to the original item's writeup for the sake of simplicity. Alternatively, the original item should be deleted, and the GM modifying the item should write up a new item.
    * Weapon skill, and the Common Sense attribute overall, is a sacred cow. It should not be modified lightly, if at all. This is because most combat skills are under the umbrella of common sense.
-   *    Oversized weapons(weapons exceeding 1d12 damage) should only have access to oversized skill.
+   * Oversized weapons(weapons exceeding 1d12 damage) should only have access to oversized skill.
    * Weapons should not have enchantments exceeding the material of the item it's placed on, and the power stat of weapon material should not exceed 5.
    * Effects generally should not stack.  This is because the gm giving them out can't control what others do,  meaning your item can be broken if it's allowed to stack.
    * Combat NPCs should be avoided.  These draw out combat with extra actions and undermine characters built similarly to the NPC.
-   * While non-combat NPC's gaining xp allows it to scale with the player and continue to be used regardless, it produces an imbalance accelerating the growth of the player it's given too

    * Recharging divine effects should be limited to exceptional cases, as they drain power from the gods.  Magic items of T'or spells should not exist.
    * Avoid giving free rates to players. For example, free creature abilities should be minimized, and rates granted should be considered.
