[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 6248422, member: 85555"] i never really saw these as entitlement issues. All games give players things as they gain xp (at least all games with an xp system do). These could be skill points, powers, hit points, spells, etc. I do not see any of that stemming from a sense of entitlement. When it comes to stuff like magic items parceled by level or wishlists, again i do not see this as players having a sense of entitelement, i just see it as an approach thay doesnt work for me becuase magic items are things i consider more part of the setting than my character (and something i would rather acquire through exploration with some suprise involved than get automatically....or at the very least i need to make them). The same with magic. I am okay with getting a handful of spells the character discovered on his own, but i like the fact that other spells need to be found in the form of scrolls and spell books (at least for mages). To me that isnt just a huge balancing factor, it is also part of the thrill of playing. [/QUOTE]
