Doing the best imitation of myself
I just wanted to address this point: no one was talking about this point that people were listening to. This has been a real problem with the game for a long time, and one that has seriously impacted every game I've ever played in with the 3X rules, provided the game lasted long enough for there to be significant character leveling. The disparity between good and bad saves, as well as the problem with making skill checks for high level characters in campaigns where not everyone maxes the skill are two simple examples.Monkey Boy said:A few weeks ago no one was talking about math being a problem. This discussion all came from a WOTC designer blog. I guess my point here is that while we might have felt that something was wonky we didn't mind. It didn't ruin our game and was not a fundamental problem. We didn't really notice it and we didn't post to message boards about it effecting our games.
Many more people have noticed the problem since then, but some of us have been around for a long time.
