[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 103062, member: 1013"] [b]Balance Schmalance[/b] When the players got together and rolled up PC's for the current campaign it was a blast. The first guy who rolled rolled up stats that nobody else came close to matching. Nobody bitched and whined about it. Not all PC's are created equal, and they shouldn't be. Who want's PC's that are straight out of the generic chump pool? Roll them dice and let them fall where they may. As for HP. Not every fighter with a 13 Con should have the same HP at the same level. There should be some randomness to that. I or my players just don't get all fired up over "imbalances" between characters. Some classes are better than others and you should be rewarded for rolling good with more options. Some classes should cost more in EXP to advance. I liked the ability restrictions in the 1e. I liked Magic Users outstripping the rest of the party at high levels, was anyone Gandalf's equal in the LOTR? [/QUOTE]
