[QUOTE="Gort, post: 5414946, member: 11239"] I wouldn't really mind things being standardised - Gamma World does a fair bit of this by making sure that you always have a decent attack stat. Basically a character should be playable within the framework of the game. If this means taking away a couple of options that only really serve to allow people to make fighters who can't swing a sword or wizards who can't cast spells while simultaneously making character generation and record-keeping simpler, I say go for it. I think the 3-18 sacred cow needs to go, too, along with rolling stats in general. Nobody ever sticks with their rolled stats - there are myriad clauses such as "assign them as you like", "oh, those are bad, reroll them" and the eternal favourite "my guy commits suicide, can I make a new one" that always ensure that the PCs are on the high side of stats. I really wouldn't mind seeing something in a class like [i]Elite fighter - Your long hours of sparring have paid off. Your strength score rises to 4, and you gain the Athletics and Endurance skills[/i]. Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing only three stats - Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence, determined by your class.
