[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9333537, member: 7635"] Yes? All of the above? I tend to feel that most of the house rules for D&D use a chainsaw where a scalpel is needed. And a lot of the proposed changes are less to do with making the game fun and balanced and more to do with punishing the player for wanting to do their role effectively. I am not against nerfing the wizard. I am against cutting his arms and legs off and claiming he's still balanced because he can crawl using his tongue. I want to still have fun while playing my character, and as a wizard I still want the fantasy of casting magic to overcome obstacles. I don't want to go back to 1 spell a day and then toss darts and hope my 4 hp and AC 10 will get me through the night. I don't want magic to be unreliable, costly or random. I want it to be balanced and fun. So that was my point with other classes: you can legitimize any and all of those changes using any metric you want, but I gotta ask if you are considering how fun those changes make playing that character.
