What? Who suggested lowering Harrek? It's too easy as it is to get there. Yes, higher costs would be much better - rising with increasing abilities, maybe doubling every mastery or something. It would make Anaxial's of some use again - most of it isn't after a couple of masteries. And it would promote more rounded, complete characters, as players put HP into lower, cheaper, abilities. Will it slow the game up? Only if the entire game is based on the idea that anyone of any significance whatsoever has at least two, preferably three, masteries.
Which it seems it is.
