Note
I obviously haven't had time to test all of these, and when I was typing this I realized there's quite a few 2-in-1 ideas which would probably be changed if these were to actually make it to the game.

I'll probably go over these ideas and look at the balance within the next few days, but any advice on how these affect game balance is appreciated, as well as suggestions on general improvements or new idea sets.
