    Trivial matters like this... false sense of being unique...

    Sorry, but have I done something to offend you besides having a differing opinion? I assure you it has never been my intent to cause you harm, merely to call attention to the fact that an RPG which lets you be the best at everything is not really a role playing game at all. It's a god-sim.

    A person must be good at some things, and they must be bad at some things. If you're good at all things, why would you ever seek the help of an itinerant minstrel when you yourself can handle that role just as well? Why would you grudgingly pay for the services of a surly mercenary if you're every bit as good at hewing bones as he is? We're not playing this game to be the best at everything. We're playing to take part in a story that we ourselves help write. If you think that no character in this story is unique then... well, I suppose there's no convincing you otherwise.

    I have yet to play a good RPG which allows the character to have no weak points. You're accepting the role of a character. All his strengths, all his shortcomings.
