It's just what we have to use as an example (I also addressed the "take 10" ability as well). I get the impression you've rushed through my posts, which would be apropos considering the context.Right, that's being stated as tautological and I simply don't buy it as such, nor do I see "complex" as a pejorative. For some folks D&D is not an adrenaline-junkie, button-mashing Capcom fighting game, but rather a game of tactics. And in fact, tabletop RPG's are much better-suited for the latter than the former. You'll never streamline an RPG enough to keep up with a Playstation.Again, this is something I addressed and you've provided an apt example: "Whoops, there's a +2 synergy bonus here" is not a math problem. It is a memorization problem. And high-level character generation isn't a math problem, it's a record-keeping problem. There's too much junk to keep track of. Give people a bunch of other stuff to keep track of, and the situation is six or a half-dozen.For one thing, I do wonder if characters continue to gain feats every three levels in addition to the feats they gain for progressing in their class. Cutting out those extra feats would streamline character-building, for better or worse.</blockquote>
