[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5952195, member: 54877"] Which is why I said "late in the playtest" but early in the design. Late in the playtest is still early in the life of the product. If they don't include something like this during some part of the playtest, they might as well forget about it entirely. If the modular connections aren't integrated and tested, it will suck. This is the history of new systems slapped on top of an existing RPG, especially D&D. For a clear example, ask the psionic fans. Do they want psionics put off until the core design is essentially frozen, and then built on top, or do they want a prototype psionic system tested with the core, even if not fully fleshed out until later? Which one do they think is likely to lead to a psionic system that works? There is no try. :p [/QUOTE]
