(If you roll a d20 and think you want to get the lowest number possible to hit)It is likely that a rules-set used improperly will cause frustration. (If you want to roll low to hit, an increasing BAB makes that harder to do instead of easier: "How is that a well designed system?!")Correcting the misunderstanding before advising to use other systems they haven't gotten frustrated with yet is neither saying the person is wrong, nor saying that they are not capable of using the system.No, skeptic's problem is not trying to roll "1"s, but neither have we told him that he is wrong; we have suggested possible solutions to his rather common problem of spellcasters overpowering mundanes when he runs few combat encounters per day.Yes, one of those solutions is to use a different system. It is not the only solution, though it seems to be the solution you endorse.</blockquote>
