Balance is usually more overrated than underrated. I think veteran gamers usually need balance less. They usually aren't as interested in out doing one another as they are in playing a character and having fun. Too much balance can get very boring.

I've been thinking on the OP's point a lot of late. Personally, I think simplicity is very important for a GM. However, sometimes simplicity is just that, and it falls short, -particularly for long in depth campaigns. As a player, I've always found the D&D classes too restrictive to develop the...

TWERPS OD&D Tunnels & Trolls Rolemaster 4E Harn

As a Fungi from Yuggoth with 632 years of formal education, I feel slighted.
