For example in a FATE campaign I played, one of the most important things on my character sheet was "My father told me to duel often" which was both vital crunch and central fluff to my character. Although I really don't want to port aspects into D&D I'd like to have D&D have the goal of combining crunch and fluff together as much as possible for example:-If the fluff of X class is that it gives me quick and easy power at heavy cost, then the mechanics could give me quick and easy power at heavy cost.-If a bit of fluff doesn't have any crunch to back up what it says it does then kill it with fire.-Make crunch that takes into account the implications of the fluff. For example if there's a charm effect think about what the fluff says about how it works. Does it require a shared language? Can it be blocked by plugging my ears? That sort of thing.-Does the crunch do something that's hard to visualize in fluff terms? Then kill it with fire.</blockquote>
