[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7629066, member: 82504"] Not even sure what you mean by disrespectful (pointing towards the mechanic / game structure ) . Do we lie about what the mechanics were or what they were intended to do? We generally talk about how the results created issues in practice (in theory being lame at low level was supposed balance being overly powerful at high levels - in practice most people played games that never did the full range so the over all experience was imbalance of one form or another at all times. This was exasperated by other things in the system that is a big conversation you are not actually interested in. The sweet spot is now being mentioned again on the forums though I think most of the time Tony actually exaggerates how much it was brought back he knows 5e better than I. That was originally a range that corresponded to everyone having much the same amount to contribute in the game. My distaste for Save or Dies is re-expressed right here in the thread was I lying about the system or saying something about people who like them? I can say something about people who like the mechanic for you "they are getting a gamblers rush out of it". I got censored over it... in one way or another. [/QUOTE]
