[QUOTE="prosfilaes, post: 5718706, member: 40166"] And some are inherently bad. Quake is not an RPG. It would not be better to make a new game, an RPG, and call it Quake. "If you want PL/I, you know where to find it." This is the only example of people maligning the motives of others here. It does discuss the change under question; it says it's too extreme to be an appropriate part of D&D. So? Go play GURPS or Rolemaster and offer your mods to that gaming community. This is one of my biggest frustrations with the gaming community. Nobody ever says "Coke would be so much better if it were lime-flavored". Nobody seriously talks about a Hummer that gets 40 MPG. But somehow D&D, instead of just being D&D, has to be the game you want; if you like realistic lethality, D&D suddenly has to have realistic lethality, even though it's inconsistent with what the game has been for the last 30 years. That's what "go play GURPS" means; if you want a lime-flavored soda, don't change Coke, and if you want a fuel-efficient car, don't look at a Hummer. [/QUOTE]
