Based on my exploration of the many threads, and the hatred that others reigned down upon the threads that i have posted it is obvious that the reason (or so it seems) that many of the people on here play is because they see it as a "battle of math"? Or so it seems. I feel many people forget that it is a Role Playing Game. Reminder this is all opinion. But i don't see how you can have a lot of fun when constantly running the numbers of how effective your character will be in every situation. Also i feel people rely to much on their spells, all that has to happen is for a wizard to lose the ability to cast and they are as good as dead, you have to have other classes, i feel other people do not realize that. Again all just opinion. Remember everyone RPG!! not Math Wars

Well, I'm quite fond of having powerful magic. But there are a number of systems that limit it more. As an example, in warhammer FR, you can cast as much as you want, but at the chance of going insane. Ze chaos, she is not kind.

Dont get me wrong i like having a good wizard to have my back, but i feel the designers and GM's should take it upon them selves to make skills more useful, I occasionally GM with my friends and i always make rolls harder than suggests and the repercussions for failing much higher, i also strengthen many traps because i feel many of them are weaker than they should be.

I feel that spell casters have become far too over powered personally. Their should be far more disadvantages to spell casters to compensate for the fact that they have a spell that can compensate for everything.

I've seen quite a few people in the forums calling skills and characters focused on them as useless? I personally have not played a PFS organized game but i know that when my group gets together skills are far from useless. While skills may not be effective in combat, there is so much more to the game than that. I play rogues a lot, and i mean a lot. And i don't know how many times I've save our group from being destroyed either through diplomacy, stealthy intervention, or by destroying a problem enemy with a devastating sneak attack while other characters drew his attention away. Needless to say without my help we would be creating new characters much more often. Anyone who underestimates my characters in Society play will regret this mistake. That i promise.
