[QUOTE="Ahglock, post: 3862496, member: 56725"] I think inflicting MAD on all classes is a bad idea as well. Using wisdom as an example. Mentioned in one of the articles wisdom is the power stat. Now this is just a guess but using saga and the force powers, there is a feat hat gives you access to a # of force power for an encounter = to your wisdom bonus+1 minimum of 1. You can take the same power multiple times so you can use it multiple times in the encounter. This changes wisdom from a useful attribute for the perception bonus and will save bonus to a must be decent attribute for all classes that use powers. Want to play an absent minded professor, cool, you'll suck, but go for it. Want to play a reckless rogue, great idea, you will suck but have fun. Want to play an oblivious barbarian, sounds like fun, how much suck would you like with that. MAD does the impossible it actually makes character design less varied than SAD. When you tie attributes to class roles a decent attribute becomes a requirement. It makes it far to punishing to take a dump stat for flavor or character development reasons. [/QUOTE]
