Below is a listing of three extension/balancing plans for tmw.
Both plans target the game at the status as of the end of last year;
some of the balancing concerns may since have disappeared or been
replaced by others.

  The plans are focussed on two aspects:  magic, and skills.  The idea
behind skills is to give players new active and passive abilities.
Players may learn any number of skills;  however, they may only have a
small number of these active and available at any given time (this
balances for tmw being class-less.)  In particular, magic users will
need to occupy most of their slots with magic skills to be effective
on higher levels, leaving warriors with `real' extra abilities.

Plan #0:  Balancing fixes
  The purpose of this plan is to address some open bugs in the game
  balance.  This includes the introduction of a minimal set of skills,
  leveraging existing tmw-athena facilities.

Plan #1:  Skills
  The purpose of this plan is to extend tmw-athena gameplay by
  introducing skill pools (extending on Plan #0).
