[QUOTE="PapersAndPaychecks, post: 3627495, member: 28854"] I can see that happening, actually. I used to go through it every time a Rolemaster 2 character levelled... first there'd be the, "woohoo, I've levelled", then there'd be the, "uh, what percentage would I gain if I put another rank in Stalk/Hide?" (with the usual answer, "here's the book!"), then there'd be the groans of frustration and the inevitable request: "Hey, GM, I'm stuck here, could you level my character for me?" (with the usual answer, "no, it's your character")... Then they'd show up for the next session still at level 13 and say, "I'll level up in time for next week, honest," and at that point I'd [i]know[/i] that I was going to have to give in and sit down with my excel spreadsheet and level another damn character again. I had a couple of players who would give it a go, and then hand it to me "for checking", and since they'd inevitably get something wrong it was more work for me than if I'd just done it myself. Never again. No more systems with character sheets that come on folded booklets. ;) In other groups I can definitely see this happening with 3.x as well. [/QUOTE]
