You can make the most skilled generalist in the world — but those same points could be spent on someone who does heaps of damage or is well-nigh invulnerable. Making sure that characters don't have overlapping schticks might be a workaround — just provide varied challenges to keep everyone engaged — but it's still a balancing act.S.

It is definitely a weird system at first, but easy to adapt to, and quite fun.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151444793904730013noreply@blogger.com
