[QUOTE="swordsmasher, post: 1733515, member: 21461"] As for Munchinizing: You should see the bad guys. ;) I run a very gritty game, where survival rates are low, and magic rare. (I wouldn't say Low magic, maybe somewhere in the middle of moderate to low). Plus, using the VP/WP system (Modified that your WP go below 0 and you die at -10), heroes can go from being godlike to dead in one blow, especially above level 6. Oh, and I forgot to mention, if a high level wizard can obliterate his opponent with a few choice spells, i feel that the fighter (who is a weapons master) should be able to do the same with a few well placed blows. Also, I use a Taint system based on the one given in Unearthed Arcana, ties in with Flaws, so most PC's above 1st level WILL have at least 1 flaw, and maybe more.
