[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8268948, member: 29398"] It's easily hacked, and as the subsystems are more discrete there's less concern about knock-on effects and those that do arise tend to be more specific rather than game-wide. If I can do it, anyone can. It just takes a willingness to put in the thought/effort, acceptance of some in-play trial-and-error, and patient players. :) Also true of 3e and 4e. Same was true of 1e yet there fighting was generally discouraged as being the go-to problem solver. The tone and presentation - and play advice - of the game just ain't the same as it used to be. :) Ehhhh, maybe. I mean, one could add on all sorts of subsystems and different classes-abilities-skills-etc. if one wanted to, but - much as with social encounters - I suspect the point where diminishing returns outstrip effort spent would arrive very quickly. Agreed if all you want to run is a heist-based campaign. Disagreed if you're also wanting to do other types of adventures in the same campaign. [/QUOTE]
