[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 5972986, member: 63508"] Well, I disagree that Perfect Imbalance does not match up with D&D. Some aspects of it does. Lock at the last 3 things said. [B]1) Make sure any character can't be great at everything.[/B] This is the CODzilla/BatWizards issue. Because this is a cooperative game, you have to make being great at everything difficult to in the default game. You can make being at least [U]"Average"[/U] at everything available but make a clear difficult between [U]"Great"[/U] and [U]"Average"[/U] to avoid overshadowing. [B]2) Firm knowledge of interactions of resources available to PCs[/B] AKA don't make spells, feats, items, and features in a vacuum and make a MASSIVE Head ache for DMs. Either balance them or explain to DMs what balance issues they create so the DMs can know what they are getting into early. [B]3) Give Players a wide enough group of options within their characters.[/B] No one trick one pillar PCs. You don't have to give characters a working option for everything they run into, but they should have more that one option available. If you don't, it puts a strain on the DM to never use this obstacle if the party lacks the option or to insert "convenient" solutions in the area.
