[QUOTE="shoak1, post: 7158221, member: 54380"] I think perhaps it comes down to left brain/right brain. Right brainers are much more quick than left brainers to throw up their hands and sling out the "its all up to your individual playstyle and DM choices" flag. Left brainers see balance achievable through examining norms and averages across playstyles and settings - we see it as challenging and complicated to do so, but definitively achievable. Right brainers see such endeavors as subjective folly. So I doubt we will ever come to consensus here, and that's ok. But what I see as troubling here, as I percive it, is the lack of budge on the part of the right brainers - a sort of "give no quarter, we are on top in this edition" mentality as I see it. I suspect its unintentional - but I think a wiullingness to share here would go a long way. And to be clear, waving the DM wand is not giving ground - that is a definitively unattractive option to us. [/QUOTE]
