One of the biggest complaints I've always seen is along the lines of "Why does my class get less skills than the other class" After all, if a fighter is going to go against monsters and such, shouldn't he have a lot of knowledge too? After all, it would be a bad choice for a fighter to attack a wraith without knowing what weaknesses and abilities it has, nd just go in swinging a sword." Giving everyone the same skill points eliminates that complaint.But yes, I am aware of power gamers who want their character to be Marty Sue types. This option doesn't really hinder them either.And I cannot agree with the customization is in the personality comment. Different people are going to have different skills and abilities. An English long bowman is very different from a Samurai. And the core rule books never amde that kind of distinction. In terms of skills and abilities every other character is really nothing more than a cardboard cut out of each other because of these kinds of limitations. And under these kinds of limitations, when I first started, all players took the most powerful things they could to deal out the most damage. For example, I never had a fighter that would use anything other either a two handed sword, or a bastard sword and a shield.</blockquote>
