[QUOTE="Akrasia, post: 1869798, member: 23012"] Well, for an example from the history of D&D, see my earlier description of the optional skills rules for RC D&D. Those were optional rules that did [I]not [/I] favour one class over another. (I am sure I could come up with other examples if I had the time.) Moreover, simply because rules options throughout the history of D&D have tended to be unbalancing in nature does [I]not[/I] in any way entail that this kind of rules design is impossible. If you want examples from other game systems, I have already mentioned Unisystem. When the full rules for Castles and Crusades are released, it might also be an example. GURPS Lite and "full" GURPS are balanced with each other. (Heck, even "Sidekick" gives a balanced 'lighter' version of the HERO system, to which elements of the full system can be added without 'unbalancing' things.) :cool: [/QUOTE]
