[QUOTE="Mortaneus, post: 64873, member: 485"] Psion, *sigh* I am not chest-beating. I'm merely trying to state my opinion that classes, though good for D&D, tend to cause problems when taken into other contexts. You don't seem to agree. That's fine. We both seem to be mis-interpreting each other's arguments. I did not intend to sound like I'm trying to talk down to you, but to merely state that I do have more than a passing knowledge of game design. I am fully aware of your credentials as well, and they are more than respectable. I apologize for my hostile tone. I don't like being lectured, and some of your posts seemed to convey that impression. I find myself in error on that assumption, and for that I am sorry. In any case, do agree that class based systems do have several benefits. Ease of character generation, hands-free character growth, and other inherently balancing factors. Personally, I feel that these aren't necessary, but that is a matter of opinion. It will be interesting to see what they do with d20 modern, and how well the d20 system stands up to the rigors of a technologically oriented setting. [/QUOTE]
