[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 690782, member: 317"] hong: I suppose to me that having a PrC and character abilities mapped out from first level leave little room for character development that deviates from the pre-appointed path. Also, I don't think that players should have absolute free access to all available class, spell, and magic item info- it leaves little mystery to the game and encourages metagame thinking to the extent that it interferes with roleplaying. While that might not bother some people, it does seem extremely artificial to me. The people I have always gamed with have been more interested in roleplaying, character development, and exploration of the game world rather than number-crunching, mechanics, and optimizing characters- and on the few occasions when a person would game with us who was more interested in making a powerhouse character, they completely neglected what the other players and I enjoy about gaming and were disruptive. I'm not stating that this is an invalid way to game, just that it won't fly in my game because its not what we enjoy. [/QUOTE]
