[QUOTE="Tyler Do'Urden, post: 2019017, member: 4601"] I usually tweak after three Red Bulls. Oh, wait, that's not what we're talking about. When it comes to D&D, I am the tweak master, the tweak commander, and I showed my gaming group the way of the tweak. In 2nd edition AD&D, I made my own version- I mashed everything- Skills and Powers, ALL the class handbooks, everything from Dragon magazine that I could get my paws on, and Michael Morris' 2nd edition Dusk system- into one unified character-point based system. Which lead to craziness- LG Barbarians with super-high strength and con scores and Paladin abilities, CG Elven Cavalier/Enchanters with bladesong style and codes of honor, CE Drow Fighter/Necromancer/Assassins with three spell schools and innate casting abilities... they were all "balanced" according to the system I'd brewed up, but not according to any sane person's idea of balance... :) In 3e, I was happy to put that behind me... "aha! Finally a version of D&D that doesn't need any tweaks..." That lasted, oh, about six months... [/QUOTE]
