I only went for 2 , got my first one and have 2 Ludmilles left and plan on combining them . Just need 1 for my Cecil and 1 for my Refia , physical DPS don ' t need them and all the good mages already have dual cast innately . <| sep |> Very true . In that case , if it has to be DD , I guess I would try start all PCs at e . g . 5 th level make XP gain slower , maybe even 110 so that PCs are hopefully never too far apart . Possibly put a cap at e . g . 10 th or something , E 6 style ? give MORE magic items but tailor them so that gear choice becomes a major part of the game . Want to explore the depths of Fey Forest ? Better go and get some Cold Iron weapons from the Lava Forge . Lava Forge giving you problems ? Maybe you need to convince the Dracomancers to make you some Red Dragon hide armour for fire resistance . etc .
