I don't think people realize how easy hunting REALLY is. If you know how to do it right, you should only have to cast 1 or 2 BS for every big mob. For the main central part of level 1 in destard, I can kill all of that with 2 BS on my own. I just use provocation (and peacemaking when im in trouble). So I hardly even have to use half of my mana, and if I'm patient I don't even have to use arrows or anything because all the monsters kill each other.
I agree that meditation should be raised to about +2 or +3 instead of +1 per use of the skill. The only thing it would do to scribe is allow you to make the scrolls faster, but it doesn't allow you to make more scrolls or anything, and it doesn't make it any cheaper, so I don't see the problem there. Really the only thing I think it effects majorly (if it can be considered a "major" change that is) is Magery. You can GM/gain faster but that's it. To compensate for that just increase the gain difficulty (BUT JUST SLIGHTLY).
I like the idea (I think it was Sindern's) for mana gains using meditation in a sort of arithmetic gain. Like every 5 seconds or so it gets up'd +1 so that it starts and 1/use then after 5 seconds its 2/use and so on. I don't necessarily think this method should be used or not, but it's definitely a good idea. I like the average 2/use myself (+1 to what it is now).
I think the thing to do is test it like we've tested other things (like the pits rune), just make the change for a week and see how it goes, whether its with the potions or with med. or w/e.
