Now we have a problem where people are proliferating ridiculous builds, demanding their right to play them because RAW, and saying that the builds mean the system is fundamentally flawed.If you decide that the rule is not satisfactory, then you need to have an alternative because it takes away that ability to stop ridiculous combinations and such.Would it be accurate to represent this, then as; the system itself isn't flawed to the degree people are saying. Ignoring fundamental rules may result in very broken elements, but those rules, when applied as intended, work fine, and in particular often address a lot of the issues many people feel is one of the biggest problems with the game. However, there are people who believe that the means for doing this can lead to unsatisfactory gaming for groups who are seeking a particular gaming style, and is also open to abuse?</blockquote>
