(did i mention i hate that expression?) the system expects you to be very good in a specific area, and your companions in other areas.of course, all of this is just my opinion. but the bottom line is, if it's fun for your group, cool.btw Eric, i agree totally on your law vs. chaos comment. i'm deffinitely chaotic then. everytime i read a comment about how someone hates the randomness of dice, i cringe. i keep thinking, why play RPGs then? maybe i'm the strange one. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />~NegZ</blockquote>
