Well The majority of those 'problems' are actually personal preferences. Conscerning balance and CR, perhaps you would like to name a game that is as diverse as dnd in GAME terms and is superior in this area? None...didn't think so....

Pathetic Let me just address this notion that a setting or system has an 'intelligence' factor that varies from its brethren. Through pop culture venues that extend beyond rping, i have an appreciation of what qualities tend to be equated with 'intelligence' by their niche audience, most...
