Certainly true... But I don't think this is the kind of complication that WotC is referring to when they talk about making the game simpler to play. After all, this kind of complication, based on the wide variety of options for building a character, is a lot of fun for a significant fraction of the D&D playerbase, and provides a lot of income for WotC.Imaro said:Well one thing splatbooks do (that's not necessarily good for the game) with all those options and features is...create combinations that can't be tested thoroughly as far as game balance with all previous and future sourcebooks. That's just off the top of my head, but with WotC new emphasis on even more abilities, racial traits, class powers, etc. I see this as a very real possibility.
Removing complication as you describe it would be more limiting to D&D than beneficial to the game.
On the other hand, making the core rules themselves less complicated is nothing but a benefit for the game.
