[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5565284, member: 9037"] I guess one of my issues besides the others one I have listed is this so many other things in the game don't make sense and sometimes I have to remind myself it is just a game. For example in the game I am playing right now we have dwarf who is a rogue. He can tumble and do all these graceful maneuvers like an Olympic gymnist. As someone who watches this sport I can't see someone built like dwarf being able to really do this. They way their body is made is just wrong. Part of me would say that they should take major penalties to skills like tumble. But the game does not work that way the game designers sacrificed realism for more players options. Someone had a good point about once you start fiddling with things you end up having to change a lot of other things which adds more complexity to the game. Which some people find fun. And some don't. I played rolemaster a couple of times and it is by far my least favorite game because of the complexity and the charts it takes to resolve combat. Anyway I don't think I will keep posting in this thread because it seems to be going around in circles. As long as it is never made an official rule I have no issue what people do in their home games. [/QUOTE]
