[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 6624982, member: 232"] This is an interesting statement. It assumes that all the characters of a party are always going to be the same level. It also assumes the DM is specifically crafting all encounters specifically for their level. It further assumes that the classes are balanced across level. I think there are many reasons other then attributes that can cause one character to outshine others and play as if they were a level or two higher most important of those factors is the player. Not all players are equal and because of the variety of skill level we can see that I think would influence character power far more then attributes. I think Morrus would love to see a huge influx of posters that want to talk about 5e. That would be kind of awesome. I find this a huge exaggeration and again just filled with assumptions. The first being that rolled characters cause balance issues. They can but they don't always. People do roll average characters using that system and in fact probably roll average more then not average. I don't understand this attitude. If rolling doesn't work for you that's great, don't use it. But the insistence that no one else use it because "all sorts of people jumping on En World complaining about how this or that edition sucks because they can't challenge the party." and cause all kinds of balance issues that I've personally never seen is ludicrous. Yes, I'm sure they happen to people as we have testimony to that here and elsewhere. But just because some people can't handle it doesn't mean it should go away for everyone. [/QUOTE]
