[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5783936, member: 710"] Both have a job in that. The DM has to build scenarios where the players and their characters are equally involved (or at least as equal as required is for them to be satisfied. Some players like a more passive role, others need more spotlight). It doesn't really matter if one player has a character that is perfectly fine for combat if he doesn't like combat very much, or another one loves combat but hates exploration. That's something the DM has to consider and the designer can't fix. But the designer can create a baseline balance that makes it easier to achieve these goals. In combat encounters, can everyone contribute meaningful? (And can we make the contribution "easy" but still relevant for someone that doesn't like them too much but doesn't want his party left hanging?). Similar for other types of "encounters" and challenges. Exploration. Social Interaction. Puzzles. [/QUOTE]
