[QUOTE="UnDfind, post: 48554, member: 2744"] [b]Realism?[/b] I dunno how much realism actually factors into the game mechanics thing. I mean some game mechanics make sense, while others don't. An example is the Alternity system, as well as D20 system. Both those systems make sense. They have rules that work and keep everything balanced. I've always preferred that simple elegance of a balanced and useable system than one that's "more realistic." If you look at it in the right light, then the whole idea of classes and levels would be out the window in favor of a much more customizable system if you wanted true realism. I'd rather 4th ed emphasize good and simplistic mechanics that both make sense, and still retain the feel and meticulous detail of the worlds that TSR and now WOTC have built up over the years. But that's just my opinion... [/QUOTE]
