[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5452112, member: 6667746"] They weren't meant to be. I was pretty much like the A-Team, but before the A-Team. Like everything in life from construction to surgery, you need people able to perform different things. If you can find one person to fill two jobs then great, but you had to decide what jobs you needed done and get together to perform a working group. You didn't need Murdock there to fly because Face could, but it was a heck of a lot easier when he was since he was better at it. :yawn: Do you use a hammer on a screw and a screw driver on a nail? You use the right tool for the right job and it works better. It isn't hard to learn at all, just accepting that the game has a bunch of tools and you decide when to use them. You don't use THACO for skill checks because it wasn't made for that. Everyone learns that a carton of milk goes in the refrigerator, not the cabinet. You just have to simply accept it. Likewise a hammer works on a nail because it was made for it, and a screwdriver works better on a screw because that is what it was made for. Everything in life isn't supposed to be connected like some six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Some appliances can be plugged into a wall outlet in any way, while others can go only one way. If that can be accepted, why not the "systems" of a game. [/QUOTE]
