[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6464198, member: 22779"] Careful with those presumptions there. I've been gaming since the early 80's and DMing most of that. But, your last sentence makes sense. Not everyone is going to want to multiples their character, so, you will never get a group where everyone wants to MC. If there is a large power disparity because of MCing, that's a mechanical issue. Does that actually exist in 5e? If so, it would be a huge step backward, considering 3e and 4e both largely nipped that in the bud. Outside of some very specialised builds in 3e where you MC'd for power, MCing was almost always the weaker choice. The difference here is, I don't care. Let the players sort that out. I refuse to tell players what they should and shouldn't play. It's not my job to treat my players like they were a bunch of spoiled children incapable of taking responsibility for the game. Treat the players as if they were responsible people and they will act like responsible people. [/QUOTE]
