[QUOTE="thewok, post: 5824362, member: 60907"] The great part about Saga was that it took feats or talents to be able to do these things. But, you could also take feats and talents to make that one attack you get per round even better. And (on a larger scale), talent and feat selection could make two people of the same class that were almost totally different from each other. My friend made a dual-wielding scoundrel. He liked to put out as many blaster bolts as possible in a round. So, he started taking things like Double Attack, Triple Attack, and the talents that allowed him to reduce the penalties on those. My scoundrel was built for accuracy. I chose talents and feats to help with that one shot. If I aimed before firing, I could knock an enemy down three or four spots on the condition track, depending on how well I rolled damage. I think that each class should be fairly basic on its own. One attack per round, and so on. Then, as the character gets more levels, he should be able to take feats that allow him to specialize in how he wants to play. If the Fighter wants to make more attacks per round, then he can spend feats to do it. If he wants one massive attack per round, he can spend feats for that, too. If he wants a more balanced Fighter, able to do more damage to one target or spread it around, then he can take both kinds of feats. He will have breadth of ability, but not mastery. And I think that should also be a viable choice, but it shouldn't be like the 3E bard, which was by class design. It should be by choice of the player, and it should be a perfectly acceptable way to play (and excel at) the game. [/QUOTE]
