That seems to be a completely counterintuitive take to me. I can agree that it's weird that they would create a mechanic without a clear way to implement it, but there are many other confusing mechanics that have been published. Nobody ever said "well, we shouldn't use this part if the game at all" just because of that.Also, some of the more memorable wizards of this game have been caught without spellbooks. If you want players to be comfortable, please play that way. But if you want some conniving, paranoid, sneaky bastards who get in and out of the worst kind of troubles, then come take a seat at this table. I will attack you while you are resting and Without armor. I will use your best NPC friend as a human shield. I will plant a player in the game who is a spy for the duke. You will end up making a deal with the devil to save the princess. And you will jump out the airship without a way to land safely to get that thing you need to get, praying that one of your buddies will figure out a way to save your behind. Games that go to weird places are better than games that draw within the lines. At least for me.</blockquote>
