As in, perhaps rather than starting with a huge fireball that hits multiple targets as a spell, think about how a more basic spell may have evolved into it and start with that one instead. Same with equipment, maybe you want to be able to wield a huge lance and tower shield, but since that'd be a bit hard to wield at low levels start with a standard size shield and lance combo with the large ones as a goal to reach. I know it's hard to understand what I mean, but once I get the skills system done it will make a lot more sense. I want you guys to be able to be creative, but I also have to exercise my judgement to make sure people don't start overpowered.
