Hello there !

I just discovered now that Arcane dissipation on potions, for example, are not allowed anymore. The problem is that half of Amians, if not almost 100%, have some sort of UMD, including paladins. I don't know if it's just a point of view, but my first paladin had rogue lvls, sneak attack and UMD thing. After playing a while I noticed that something was wrong on that and, so I decided to change it to monk lvls instead.

So, my current paladin has no UMD which sucks a bit since you can't use wands with improved invisibility and that helps a lot. But now even those potions that would grant paladins without UMD some advantage are now gone, because anyone can't brew potions of lvl 4 or higher. But you can still craft improved invisibility (that's lvl 4) onto a wand. So I wonder what's the point on it ? It won't prevent power builds to use that sort of spell. They won't require a cleric to cast it on them, they can just continue on buying it. That only affects builds that (in my point of view) are more connected to a concrete line (such as paladin without rogue lvls).

I would like you to please take another look regarding the necessary spell lvl cap to brew potions. Perhaps low it from wands too, so it would match the potions ?

I really appreciate your concern.
