[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 7272605, member: 6689464"] Well, I do it because of experience. Might be flexible with a proven DM, but if I don't yet know the DM in question and all I get is "No feats, no multiclassing" or "Basic Only" wiht no more nuance, then I can safely assume they aren't the DM for me. But mechanics get in the way too? And having a mechanics gives you agency. Without mechanics a spellcaster is at the mercy of the DM, and by sellcaster I mean sorcerer/witch, not one of those ugly Mages/MUs Let me tell you one secret, the left/right brained is a myth. Wishful thinking, the result of a premature abduction at best and an outright scam designed to sell seminars, workshops and self-help books at worst. In truth there is no serious evidence of it. Just like with learning styles, personality types and other "feel well" pseudoscience. -different parts of the brain indeed control different stuff, but they bear almost no relationship with creativity in fact the more creative you are the more likely you are to use both at the same time. what you ust did was basically "Redefine and discriminate", you redefined the opposition as belonging to a suppossedly inferior group while placing your side on "the obviously superior side".
