[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 194542, member: 232"] [b]Re: Still don't see that it is unbalanced...[/b] I've found the best way to limit this is encourage role playing and well rounded characters. When I design adventures I like to have challlenges and oppurtunties for all skills to be used and a variety of the weaker feats (endurance being my favorite). This way characters who specialize find that they can do that one thing very well, but all this other things not well at all. A good example is swimming. the party was tenth level in a low magic campaign and one of them actually drowned trying to cross a river. They knew this was coming up, but he never put ranks into swim and their great idea to cross on an unsteady rope bridge was not their wisest move. He failed all his swim checks but at least 7, and no one was able to rescue him as he was swept away in the current. He was a fighter that concentated on 2WF, and nothing else. So, allow them to specialize, just make sure they realize that they are limiting themsleves. Variety is the spice of life. [/QUOTE]
