<P><FONT SIZE=2>I think increasing the native multipliers should be something that requires a trip off the middle world. Since the idea is that this is your "natural" maximums, it takes supernatural effort to change them.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>One thing I had considered was a sort of runequest-like mechanism (Heroquest) in that characters on the other worlds (upper or lower) enter at the "fringes" and can progress "deeper" into the more dangerous levels if they can handle it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The finge levels would have all "creatures" at x1.5 HP. In addition, they get their attributes upped by 25% (as if for creature variation -- recalculate other stats as needed). Yes, they are more dangerous on their home turf. For the "privledge" of facing these bad boys you may use any experience gained to improve attributes as if all of your native mulitipliers were +0.5 greater (only while on this plane).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Example: While traveling on the fringes of a land of Law, you enconter a "Wolf" (rolled encounter). As GM you should tweak appearance (Say it is coppery in fur color which black eyes, perhaps add a minor power).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>For skill use on the fringe, consider all skills to be 2/3 EL (or figure the difficulty modifiers x1.5). Optionally, you may use experience gained to exceed your normal skill maximums by 25% (round up).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Example: Skills are tougher because you are a mere mortal in supernatural realms. You aren't just swimming some river, it's the Everlasting river of eternal swiftness.</FONT></P>
