[QUOTE="Sir ThornCrest, post: 2038734, member: 27532"] [b]why would you chose to tweak one and not the other?[/b] I have seen this several times, where my fellow gamers knock d&d and hype up some other roll playing game. They usually start out by saying something is easier with the other and then they quote several, what they perceive as problems with D&D. And when I question them almost universal is "it's just easier to tweak the rules"... My question is if your willing to tweak another game why are you not willing to tweak D&D? I find the 3.0/3.5 sytem awesome. Feats, skills, easy quick save rolls, to hit damage easy quick...it allows the dm many options to tweak your own game....A great example is the unarmored variant rule....sure your harder to hit because your able to move around quickly but the guy in armor is sure hard to bring down his armor absorbs some of the damage,,,,this rule is implemented in all our games now. Makes since a guy in armor isnt harder to hit hes harder to damage... I find D&D easy to manipulate/tweak/play/DM....this is a combined opinion of 3 game groups that I know of in Pasadena. About 16 gamers, and they all play several games. Thorncrest [/QUOTE]
