[QUOTE="GX.Sigma, post: 6331436, member: 6690511"] If anyone is "intimidated" by the Advanced rules, they should stick to Basic. That is literally the point of the Basic rules. What I'm saying is, if you call the more advanced ones "Standard," then these hypothetical newbies (who should stick to Basic) will try the more advanced rules [I]first[/I] (with the assumption that "basic" is not worth playing when "standard" is right there) and get frustrated by how complicated it is. I don't see why adventures need Standard as a baseline. "Standard," as I understand it, just refers to a larger set of character options. Why is that needed for a baseline? Would Keep on the Borderlands have been designed differently if you could play a Paladin? Would Sunless Citadel have been designed differently if you couldn't play a Druid? (there's also the part where they actually said Basic will be their baseline for adventures) [/QUOTE]
