Just curious what the general consensus on character creation is around here. It seems like some rules variants, like C&C favor a more rules-light approach to the game, but end up sacrificing character creation.
In other words, creating a rules-light system reduces the complexity of a character, and makes character creation a lot faster. This can either be a good thing, or a bad thing, depending on your perspective.
I favor complex character creation. I like tweaking characters and adjusting minutia, and planning out paths, including feats, spells, or possibly prestige classes. I've seen others complain about this process.
