Random Attributes and Twink

Paul Goldstone

In relation to the munch/twink, that is down to the system, and more and more are seemingly point based with skills and talents. It seems long gone are the random rolls, and that difficult question on whether that 3 goes in wisdom or charisma foe my fighter. Over the years RPGs have matured with the community, and more players want input and to tailor (read munch/twink) their characters to effectively get the most out of it in a game. Having run a fair few tourney games, there have been many times i have been questioned on the character because it would have been better to have spent the points there and there and been a "better character". There can be a tendency to miss the 'role-play' aspect and focus on rolls.
