And yes, it is flavorful in some parts,       but I think it was never worth the hassle of having to justify why       dwarves or elves couldn't be something else              Level limits are similar. Considering everybody played to reach as high       levels as possible, having your character limited by that is painful and       stupid. Even if you never reach those levels.              Alignments are the big no-no. Yes, they made a tiny bit of sense in       Chainmail, and there is a marginal bit of sense in having it as a three       alignment system in OD&D. But everything that came after it was just       trying to make the best of a bad job.       In effect it's better to just drop them altogether. I mean, how many       other games even have alignment in their rules?       (uhm... RIFTS and the other games in that sphere I think)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
