[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 945061, member: 4275"] Well-everything is a trade off. In a point based system, you might find it difficult to pay for a concept that makes you charismatic, a true leader, AND a great fighter. Also- having run those games a lot, like Hero and GURPs, writing up characters takes a long time, and for the Gm that's especially a burden making adventures. Still- I hardly think the d20 Modern classes are a straight jacket, and they certainly aren't MORE of a straight jacket than D&D classes. I have found d20 Modern to be very adaptable and well designed, and my players seem to be able to make characters that are fun and interesting. If it takes you 10 levels to get exactly the character you want, that doesnt make the system bad imo. It sounds like a goal. If your character is everything you want it to be at 5th level Id be bored with that character by 6th level. Chuck [/QUOTE]
