[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 1514140, member: 1129"] One thing I'm curious about is balanced. Warhammer never went the whole "Everything must be balanced" theory. Heck, the starting careers were random and sometimes you had to spend 1K xp just to equal someone who rolled better than you. This doesn't take into account the races either.
