You've put something in words I've been trying to express myself but couldn't find the words for, so mille grazie for that. In addition, I've always rather liked old-school systems having a PC start out as "weak" enough to snuff it at the first mishap (1E magic-users anyone?), which forces a player to be creative in how to solve the problems the story throws at them and to use elements of that story rather than some stats on their sheet. It compels players to interact with NPCs and PCs alike, to pay attention to how the DM describes a situation, and to have their PCs participate in the story rather than be a pawn on a game board, so that they will actually feel a sense of achievement once their PCs get some flesh on their bones.Anyway. Didn't want to make this about editions, so carry on.</blockquote>
