[QUOTE="Emberashh, post: 9066676, member: 7040941"] In DND. A poor economy is not a given in a particular ruleset. There is a point, because Mining is just as critical to building your Strength as being skilled at Heavy Weapons or Wrestling is. And thats before you get into the combat applications, especially for Mining, which will have substantive uses in single combat and very elaborate uses in sieges (namely Sapping, but theres others Im exploring) This same design philosophy extends across every single skill, and all of it, among a great deal of other things contributes not just to the Wilderness being a more substantive part of the game (rather than just pointless paint) but Dungeons and cities and all the rest too. Has to be said again that simple isn't a virtue, and Ill say further that one shouldn't make the mistake of treating minimalism and good game design as though they're the same thing. They're not.
