[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8455784, member: 7032025"] Only because you mixed in all the changes, but these affect a character on his primary stat as well as anyone on his secondary stat, so no, it's not an argument at all. Seeing that the game has not been designed to be balanced (said by the authors themselves), nitpicking about small balance items just shows that one does not understand the game's design, and second has another idea in mind that just correcting a minor potential issue of balance. So yes, in a naturally unbalanced game, I only think about game breaking, all the rest is pointless and will sort itself out naturally. No, they don't. On any single potential change, not only does the rule of large numbers not apply so a +1 is totally negligible compared to the swinginess of a d20, but in any case it is subject to the actual DC that you are shooting for, which is completely arbitrary from the DM anyway. So this argument is beyond invalid. And this is again insulting, nothing in what I'm saying shows that I'm not playing the game, just one with different mechanics. On the other hand, it seems that you only want to play a game for the mechanistical aspect of it, whereas I'm playing a ROLEPLAYING game, hence one where the rules are secondary to the objective of playing the game, which is having fun. It makes the rules less important because if they are in the way of the story, they go. [/QUOTE]
