[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7251932, member: 22779"] [MENTION=23751]Maxperson[/MENTION], the "maturity" thing is from a previous post by [MENTION=28301]smbakeresq[/MENTION]. Sorry if that confused you. To be clear, one poster [MENTION=28301]smbakeresq[/MENTION] has posited that a person is immature if that cannot "handle" die rolled characters, and you have posited that because you, personally don't have a problem, then obviously the problem cannot be mechanical. Do you really not see any problem with that? Basically, you're using an Oberoni Fallacy to defend your position; that any problem can be fixed by a good DM (with the corollary to that being if you cannot fix the problem, then obviously you are a bad DM). It is really quite insulting, whether that's what you intend or not. There's an additional point here too. I most certainly can and have played using die rolled characters. I most certainly can adjust the game accordingly. You are right in saying that it can be resolved by the DM. That's true. But, it ignores the actual issue. The fact that you have to resolve the issue as the DM means that there is SOMETHING that needs to be adjusted for. Whereas, with point buy or array, there is nothing to resolve and no requirement for the DM to do anything whatsoever. Just because you can fix a broken system doesn't, in any way, mean that it isn't broken. Just that you can adjust for it. [/QUOTE]
