Augmentation was really hot for a while - until we realized that actually not a single person on the list liked the rule as written, and we were just arguing which house rule was the best.
Personally, I'm in agreement with this opinion from Markus Battarbee:

Even though I'm at least partially responsible for the "apply penalty to augmenting ability, not the one being augmented" idea, which seems to have caught on with some people, I think I'd rather just have fewer penalties overall.
