What's +BAB if you never pick up a sword? More HP if you make sure no one ever attacks you?  Also, to talk about other people's points on that the game shouldn't try to expand from its base: Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn't. However, I feel that improving on the combat rules for streamlined play is not the best direction for the game to go--if I'm looking for pure leveling and combat goodness, WOW will satisfy that need quite easily. The lure of D&D over and above WOW is in the ability to create your own worlds, explore lifestyles of your own creation, develop oneself in creative ways. D&D and other TTRPGs are all about getting a bit of Tea Party in your Cops and Robbers. Let's consider one of the sources of fantasy: the Pre-Raphaelites. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Leighton-God_Speed%21.jpg/428px-Leighton-God_Speed%21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Right now, the game does a great job of making the knight a PC. Would we be able to attract more players to the game if the game also had rules for playing the lady as a PC?I ask because I think there's an opportunity here. There are other House games out there, like The Sims, but they don't hold that fantasy mystique. There are other fantasy games out there, but they focus on the Epic Hero. It doesn't seem to me to be too much more a stretch of the imagination to include the PC lady (and no, making an Aristocrat doesn't cut it). It can be attractive to both sides, like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There's a wealth of fun an competition to be had in societal dances, power brokering, acquisition of the exotic, and romance.After all, Tea Party is never about the tea.</blockquote>
