I am totally fine without using any mods.
As for house rules, dual l9 blessing will be allowed, or we gonna stick with the max 1xl9/everything else max l8 blessing rule?
"Training is principally an act of faith. The athlete must believe in its efficacy: he must believe that through training he will become fitter and stronger, that by constant repetition of the same movements he will become more skillful."
That is up for suggestion. Perhaps we should limit blessings or even play no blesses above 4 game. Or we could play a superbless game, where everyone tries to outbless eachother.
