[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 9147083, member: 82106"] Interesting, that makes sense. I notice even in Agon where my character has a 'name die' an 'epithet die', and various domain dice that might potentially apply that nobody ever says "why does Rune-Master apply here?" (my character's epithet). You also run into the issue of 'do nothing' tags, like you could in Agon say you are 'strong' or 'merciless', but that's just kind of empty. I mean, it has some characterization value, but you're going to roll that die in EVERY SINGLE contest! Now, maybe a 'good' player will avoid those pitfalls, but even for me its tempting to want to have an epithet that always applies! And hard to wade through the logic of how I'm justifying it right now. If the GM started to police that, then it bogs down in questions of exactly what does Rune-Master 'mean', etc. [/QUOTE]
