[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 2114378, member: 10109"] I don't mean to discourage the introduction of new feats, and I applaud your interest. But personally, I find myself somewhat flummoxed by most of the new rules and rules modifications proposed for LEW. My first thought is almost always "Have these been playtested?" One would assume so, but by whom? No one I know. I'm reluctant to support rules modifications the ramifications of which I'm unaware of. I'm simply not an experienced enough player to be able to read through a set of feats like this and say "OK. That won't cause any game balance issues." As such, and because I don't mean to be a spoilsport, I rarely vote on such things. To get my vote on a rules mod, I would appreciate a bit of background on them. How you anticipate they might be used. How much they've been playtested. Any anticipated issues you see. Each judge is different. Personally I'm not excited to see a batch of rules and rule mods in LEW. I'm a bit of a core rules guy myself. I like to keep it simple for new DMs and players. The more LEW varies from standard DnD, the more complicated it is for a new person to step in and DM. And at the heart of it, I believe we have players; we need to keep attracting DMs. Anyway. That's my 2 cents. I wasn't trying to ignore this thread. Glad to have you on board. [/QUOTE]
