[QUOTE="NerfedWizard, post: 4573897, member: 68865"] This question is ENTIRELY about flavour. Basically, my view is:- unless DICTATED by flavour/simulationism, game-design choices should reflect game-balance, interpreted to mean broad balance across the whole roleplaying experience, not just in combat. And obviously, you cannot exactly balance two different characters - all you can do is make sure that each advantage has a corresponding disadvantage, so that no character class can have a significant advantage over all the others without some corresponding significant disadvantage. Every bonus has a drawback, and they should ROUGHLY match. You can't expect perfection. This, by the way (if I haven't said it enough), is part of the philosophy behind my game Omnifray ([url=http://www.omnifray.com]Omnifray RPG - Home[/url]) [/QUOTE]
