My contention is that absent a strong (and fairly unusual) imperative driven by a competitive playstyle, it's irrelevant. I've yet to see a campaign be derailed by not having enough of it, but I've certainly seen the negative consequences of homogeneity and inappropriate metagame mechanics.And, as many have noted over the years, what's balanced in my game almost assuredly won't be balanced in yours, so trying to write something that's balanced for both of us is something of a fool's errand.</blockquote>
