[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4655188, member: 48965"] So basically you prefer balance... yet this in no way is necessary for interesting, meaningful, decisions to be made within a game. I mean aiding another, depending on what is happening in the game, can be a meaningful and interesting decision dependant upon the circumstances of the game. In fact I would argue that the peculiar nature of rpg's, in which one is allowed to think and perform outside of a box (the established rules system), would mean that one always has the possibility of making meaningful decisions, that may or may not be covered by the rules. In the end I believe your argument is more based upon having a good GM/DM who offers opportunities to make those choices for each player than any rules set. I mean using my at-will (once my daily and encounter powers are gone) every round isn't a particularly interesting or meaningful decision on a flat featureless battlefield while fighting one solo. But it's part of the "balance" of the game. Of course if the DM/GM puts some work into it, (like with any game system), it could become interesting and meaningful. [/QUOTE]
