[QUOTE="Ravellion, post: 794120, member: 538"] Because the system tells you you [i]can[/i] do certain things, everyone assumes that you must. If you deviate from the system, your workload becomes a lot bigger. This is because in 2e etc you had no Cr's, no wealth by level etc Printed in a book foor everyone to read: If you wanted to run the game in a certain style, it was easier to get away with it. Now, I f I want to run a game in a certain way, I have to make less houserules than I did in 2e, but they will change the system dramatically. It is like having a Jaguar E type or a brand new mercedes. one you can easily learn to fix yourself, the other has so many high end electronics you need a degree to do it, and everyone will say that you shouldn't tamper with those anyway (and they are possibly right). Of course 2e wasn't a Jaguar E type but a VW beetle... but the comparison holds :D So all in all: 3e is very customisable for the players, but for Dms it is a nightmare. Rav [/QUOTE]
