I've had a sort of love hate relationship with the idea of rules balance, and "core" rules systems...On the one hand, I like the fact that when running the game, balance and core rules means I'm not sorting through a confusing mess looking for the right way to rule something, and I have an idea on how tough a situation is..But on the other, one of my favorite things about the old 2e and previous Dragons was the sense of wonder I got when opening an issue for the first time... You never really knew WHAT to expect.Now I can open an article and pretty much always expect some feats- some items, some powers, etc...Overall I prefer the benefits I gain, but miss the wonder...The UA articles add a little of that back.</blockquote>
