So you admit that the system is already overpowered, and yet balanced, at thesame time.
I don't think any such admission can be drawn (nor one of an opposite view). However, what I will say is that I think the system is really great. I have no problem with it at all. Sometimes I think of things to improve it (in MY mind), like most people do. I am not saying characters are too powerful or are not powerful enough.
I am not sure what started this thread, but it may have been one of my earlier posts where I was considering (and asking opinons about) using IQ for spell points instead of ST. For me, this had more to do with the concept of a person losing strength (becoming weaker, even injured or similar to injury) from casting a spell, rather than a desire to make wizards (or anyone else) more or less powerful.
My comment below (in response to Neil's post - which was interesting too) was an attempt to point out that wizards may not be all that poweful if you consider the risks. Just an alternative to what was implied in that post.
Certainly, this thread went into the depths of skills, spells, talents, making characters more or less powerful... and other topics WAY beyond the depth I have in the game. All good stuff to read though - really fascinating.
