[QUOTE="sidonunspa, post: 3765082, member: 4360"] Maybe I need to try that someday Not true... look at our Witch Hunter game, there is tons of room for GM and player creativity, the GMs are expected to be fair and run a good game. The GMs job is to 1) make sure everyone at the table has a good time 2) Interpret the rules in a fair and fun manner. I remember when Living City was using 2e; we had tons of creative spell casting (I remember my friend Jim doing the same trick I did with wall of Iron in a Living City adventure) I fear that in our attempts to "level the playing field." we end up "Dum’n down the game". By limiting creativity we limit the players… Right now the most powerful players in the Living Arcanis campaign (hell any game) are the ones that think outside the box with feat/skill/spell combinations. But that creates “one trick monkeys” which I described in a post on the Wotc board a bit back. [/QUOTE]
