[QUOTE="Tzarevitch, post: 172859, member: 1792"] Noooooooo. . .. . . . . I agree with the above post. Don't use the tree. Don't make the same mistake I did. It has been a nightmare in my Dark Sun campaign. It is VERY difficult to develop characters well because no one character sees much playing time. It is also very difficult to run recurring plotlines because you have to try and remember which PC was involved in the plotline. You then have to hope that the player actually plays the particular character at the right time. There are numerous additonal problems that stem from using the character tree that I really don't want to go into because they stir up bad memories. Most of the problems stem from the fact that the DM has to be a METICULOUS bookkeeper to make this the character tree system work. My suggestion is that you resist the temptation and do not use it.
