[QUOTE="Grognerd, post: 7498197, member: 6968425"] I would agree, the "TRUE system master" would have done that. Again, and this is my experience not a scientific fact, most of the times I've seen this done it wasn't by a system master. It was by someone who saw something that has the kewl and suddenly decided that they wanted it for their character. In fact... I fully agree with the Stormwind Fallacy. In fact - still my experience - the above noted "TRUE system master" has (as you noted) usually figured out how to make their crunch work within the fluff, for better or worse. But I don't mind the system masters who are optimizing their characters. I do mind the folks who just have to add all the kewlz to their character so they can be the one, best dude (though in fact it typically results in a haphazard and often less effective character). Versimilitude to justify adding a years-long training to gain a new class and the motive for wanting said class matters more than the mechanical combination of classes with me. Agreed. But by generally disallowing or discouraging MC, I avoid having to make that judgment call. [/QUOTE]
