[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7326881, member: 6801845"] I think it should be obvious that some people are going be better at building (or running) effective characters. Give two people the exact same PCs (especially higher level casters) and the result will probably not be the same. Sometimes the difference can be dramatic. I used to play with a guy that always played mages that specialized in fire and rarely cast anything but fireball and magic missile. Well, until he got to high enough level to cast Meteor Storm. Then it was Meteor Storm, Magic Missile and Fireball. Even when he knew they were going to be fighting opponents that were resistant or immune to fire. I liked the guy, but he was never going to be accused of being a tactical genius (although that Meteor Storm did come in pretty handy now and then). No game can counter that. For example, checkers is about as simple as you can get, but I'm sure that someone who knows what they're doing would probably annihilate me in a game without even thinking about it. [/QUOTE]
