[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2632638, member: 22779"] I realize I happened to pick two sites specific to their own systems. My bad. My point is that people who pick a system usually do so because that system fits their style of play. Picking a system and then complaining that the system doesn't do what you want it to do has a pretty simple answer: Pick another system. Looking at the title of the thread, I have to assume that it is a form of complaint when he uses the word "threaten". Maybe that's my bad for the assumption, but, I don't see how it can be taken as constructive criticism of a system when the OP talks about how a rules change is threatening. And, let's face it, there are any number of threads floating around about how DnD is teh suxxors because it's has too many magic items, with a nice seasoning undertext of DnD is for immature gits who only want to stroke their munchkin ego. You've done it yourself by ignoring my main point. If you need to massively revamp a system to make it do what you want, that's not the fault of the system any more than it's the hammer's fault it won't screw in screws. If you are running a very low magic setting, that's fine. But, perhaps, just maybe, there is the tiniest possibility that a different system other than 3.5 DnD might fit that setting better. [/QUOTE]
