Are you saying that Prestige class shouldn't exist in the game?

Gee, tell is how you really feel (but please speak for yourself).

It might be disruptive, to certain playstyles, especially if pushed hard in a selfish way. You are assuming guaranteed disaster. Did MHP weaken the class when they ported it to DDB? I mentioned above I don't know what they did with it for 5.5. I cut ties with the company when they decided to...

Yeah, so what? They fixed the game for them. That it was fine before for you isn't relevant to the statement.

They are problems though...for their playstyle and preferences.

Another great system.

So long as I can use a similar concept without having to play 4e, that's just fine.

Love it! ACKS has an optional rule that does something quite similar, and I've adapted it into my Level Up play.

This is what every game designer should be thinking IMO. Make the game you want to play.

So you might as well ask the PC if they would accept the result and simply forgo rolling.

I'd have to look at the lists again (I don't own these games), but anything emphasizing narrative beats and making everything about the PCs and their interests is potentially problematic for my play.

I'm sure it's quite welcome...to players of the game in which they appear.

Splendid. This is why there are different games for different people.

I would likely not buy it, but I agree that's what they should do.

I remember back in nineteen-dickity-three we all wore lanterns on our belts. It was the style at the time.

It's a moral choice outside the setting. Inside, that torture still happened, and your PCs were involved.

Many things I prefer in gaming aren't currently (or ever) conventional wisdom. Some things are. My interest isn't in whether any given nugget of play is practiced by a lot of people or for a long time. My interest is instead about whether or not I think that nugget appeals to me and to my game...

Maybe he likes his playstyle. Is it necessary to push your desire to "retrain" gamers who play differently than you on them?

See my post above about the spectrum so many seen to ignore. Also, houseruling to make the hit point system more sim is a thing. As it turns out, there's more than one way to play traditional games.

Ok. For my part, I feel those sorts of choices should only come up when player decision and setting logic dictate, as opposed to constantly at every turn. But that's just my preference.
