It might look that way. But PCs are too skewed. Basically, if a PC can survive the targeted offence of a party of four, it's offense is...

A satisfying encounter. PCs are built with three conceits in mind: * They can do tremendous nova damage if they use all their power at...

Too squishy or wimpy for fun use. I already explained it. PCs on the monster side punch way WAY higher than their defense. They aren't...

I think “player skill” as a jargon term has accumulated too much baggage to lead to productive discussion. It’s a lot like “dissociated...
