[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8471090, member: 84112"] talk about it, think about, maybe play diffrent maybe not... I have had LG characters that I have played that did things I wouldn't... this is food for thought not about removing things from the game. no, but you can talk about it and think about and maybe even evaluate what you do and don't allow and why... and what parts of this power fantasy are us doing things we wouldn't. okay removing enchanter may be subtractive... but makeing the enchanter think about what they are doing, why, and how can be great fun both at the table and on these boards. I personally allow necromancers, and undead, and super violant rageing barbarians that solve everything with an axe... but we talk about them. for this I will talk about superheroes for a moment. When I read about superman he is insperational. He is the power fantasy not of might makes right, but what if a true good person had power... so too with spiderman, even Batman (to an extent). we can see every angle, we can read there very thoughts... In the real world I woul NEVER trust anyone with any of the lesser powered heroes abilities... becuse we can't trust in the real world. This doesn't mean I want every comic book to copy watchmen or batman V superman... (I like those in there small bits) or Injustice (not so much). It also doesn't mean I want to remove all superheroes... but it is something to talk about. [/QUOTE]
