They also put in a ton of things that amount to "actually no I ignore that and just do it/know it" when the GM tosses out a hurdle that the players would have been able to engage in.  It works fine if the campaign is played like a<a href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/trainingmontage" target="_blank"> training montage</a> but it screws with slower progressing campaigns that focus more on developing the story/plot/world/etc by taking tools away from the GM unless they start taking abilities away from players or make up transparent reasons why he's veto'ing the player's veto card.</p></blockquote><p></p>
