[QUOTE="Snowbeard, post: 6649858, member: 6797481"] Having read many threads on this forum, IMHO, most problems with set numbers in the game stem from a need or want to make everything logical. Maybe I'm presenting my idea poorly or expressing it poorly but it seems to me that the basic system is laid out well and all works together until the ideas are examined theoretically. The monster stats and their bonuses don't need to follow a logical system in a fantasy game because the laws of the fantasy setting are governed by the GM. The theoretical ideas discussed through out this forum are fascinating but in the end the modular and open slant to the rules make most of the speculation pointless because the GM can change what they feel is broken or unneeded. From a Players point of view the weapon feat isn't a tax but a choice. If that choice, i.e. SS and Crossbow master, makes the player too over powered it's the GM's job to change the story so said player is challenged. In some cases this means that players is taken out of the fight or targeted in some way and possibly gets the rest of the party killed. Bounded Accuracy seems to be an idea that some people want to be a logical algorithm or formula that will make making an encounter plug and play. The GM is in control of how the story plays out with the Players telling the story. Bounded Accuracy is a logical system but it also lays the foundation for improvisation and customization for the GM to make adventures tailored to their wants and needs. After all who wants to play a game that hold no challenges ? [/QUOTE]
