[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9783248, member: 6906980"] Which is something I do for one group and not another based on the players and the style of campaign. I do agree that we should have more guidelines and suggestions. On the other hand, anyone learning to play now knows how to search for advice they don't need it in the rulebook. I'd love a "DM Options" book but I don't expect it to ever see it, but then again most previous editions had pretty slim advice as well. Yet we all figured out options anyway. For some editions, because we had no choice. Not going to be the first time nor the last that I acknowledge the issues with the current version of D&D while also saying that I don't like a lot of the proposed fixes. We aren't playing a board game or checkers. I don't want the goal of the game to be perfect balance across all classes because we will never agree what that looks like and I don't value that goal over other things like flexibility and making classes have a unique feel.
