[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 3539567, member: 8447"] Actually, I find this much more than vaguely annoying; I find it antithetical to the whole adventuring concept. The hero doesn't know at the beginning of his adventure what he shall become; it is the process of discovery that is important. Unfortunately, this is not how many D&D games work especially under D20, at least from most of the ones I have seen and people I have talked to. The "core concept" for many individuals is to map out the "perfect build" for a given character, with the notion that you don't take "just the right feats" your character is "screwed". This is really sad. I think this is a major reason I prefer classless/levelless systems... :( [/QUOTE]
