Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tuzenbach" data-source="post: 2211094" data-attributes="member: 16155">Here's the problem with switching to points.......The problem with switching to points is this:Over time, more and more people will want to convert every and any aspect of D&D to points. Points will gradually overcome all of the current and traditional non-pointed aspects of D&D. In fact, people will flock to points as the predictability and ease of generation of numbers will add to the smoothness of all aspects of the game (playing, DMing, converting "outsiders" to D&D, etc.). It'll increase the "logicalness" of the game so more mathematicians and scientists will want to play, too. So, for two or three decades, D&D will be nothing but points. Until.......Yes, one day, someone will rebel. Perhaps it will be the non-mathematical conclave. You know, those persons who just can't stand statistics? They'll be the ones calling for a New Order in D&D. And they'll be good writers. And yes, they'll then have no choice but to write the following, "non-point" D&D system:Dungeons & Dragons: Completely Pointless <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> So PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
