By the words is the other end of the spectrum, where you might not roll a dice at all.  Hopefully, everyone's games have a lil of each, but I think the difference in the two types is where alot of the "balance" question comes from.  In the game I play in, we're pretty much "anything goes" [read: so unbalanced we don't even care <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />], and that is great for the group. I have oodles of fun. Do I think my char is balanced vs. anyone else's? I really don't care. It's never come up.  If my char is overpowered, it's not cuz of that feat <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.  Can the feat unbalance a game? Certainly.  Anything can unbalance a game.  A "smart" player can do tons of things with a mediocre character, let us "dumb" players have our fun with broken ones <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.</blockquote>
