==metamagic changes==
* if you know the feat, the casting time is not increased, only the spell level is increased.
* if you are using a rod, the casting time is increased to a full round action.  Exception is quicken rods, which cost a move action (instead of a swift).
:* if the spell isn't a standard action and you're using a rod that isn't quicken, it's still a full round action.  This means rods aren't useful for some of the weird fast spells (like bungle), but feats are still quite viable.


Overland travel rules (random encounter skill checks)

should consider, if all monsters can never have more than one status condition at a time, whether the condition resistance of some roles can be scaled back or not.
:* should we add the 'augmented metamagic' suggestion on the [[Talk:Character_Retraining|talk page]] to the list of retraining options? Is it too powerful?
 
==Highest Priority Things To Do==

* printable character sheet, with worksheets to calculate everything.


* need to talk about action economy of metamagic feats applied to spells which are faster than a standard action (do they become full round actions? what about spells which are immediates and only work as an interrupt?)
* update monster rules to state clearly that they can never have more than one (stateful) condition on them at a time. 
:* example: Bungle
:* If a player uses an ability which would apply a new condition on a monster that already has one, the ability deals any damage as normal, and the player can choose whether to apply the new condition (replacing the old one) or leaving the old one in place.
* added notes to the [[Talk:Injury,_Death_and_Dying]] page - hardcore mode
