Every character, and every class, has their strengths and weaknesses. I am not saying people do not encounter shortcomings with their classes who post here...I am sure they are dissatisfied or see a way design elements can improve; but I am saying there has never, ever been an issue that has come up where a player found cause to take issue with his class...and this is over three decades of play. Of course, we have a narrative-based game with a few players who tend to enthusiastically embrace the story and the game and do not tend to be critical of the game. The game exists as a framework for the story.I think it is a mindset. I love Wizard's commitment to playlets and iterating until they get things right. But a lot of people here post from the perspective of play testing, as if it is a perpetual frame of mind. And that is ok, if one is a budding designer. I am not trying to take that away from anyone. We simply do not play that way. It probably has something to do with how I started playing back in the early 1980s.</blockquote>
