[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 7260760, member: 284"] And that is why I can't take you seriously. That is not what realistic means. You keep using "we" when you make your arguments. Please stop doing that - it makes an assumption that I find kind of offensive. I'm not part of this "we" who does things the way you do, and talking as if I am is manipulative. That's your preference, and a reason why you shouldn't use point buy. (Except you've already admitted that you do... so it's not all that "fatal" for you.) And even with point buy, not every person in the group is exactly as capable as any other. Characters within a group tend to focus on different things, and so are capable in different areas. The wizard isn't as capable as the fighter at melee combat or athletics (unless you are choosing to do something unusual - which is the strength of point buy. You can choose.) Well, that is a failure to understand on your part, not a failure of the method of character creation. You keep talking as if your personal preferences are universal truths. They aren't. [/QUOTE]
