September 27, 201213 yr I don't even play D&D anymore XD As a DM, I quickly realised that the character creation system is too restrictive and completely altered it. But I also did that with skills, attributes, battle mechanics, spells, etc. etc. So, in fact, I'm not playing D&D with my friends anymore. We play something entirely different!
October 19, 201213 yr every game I have played has had a modified set of rules these are always adjusted by whoever is running the game almost always as a time saving device or common sense. None of this is really happening. There is a man. With a typewriter. This is all part of his crazy imagination.
November 16, 201213 yr I tend to do it by the book - but if needed I'll adjust the starting level (if I'm GM) if needed. For example in D&D I like to start at level 3 but in Shadowrun I find you get too many build points so I knock them down some. I will say that I also enjoy building my characters around negative traits. So having the starting system be restrictive enough that it rewards you for taking negative perks is always something I'm interested in. K is for Kid, a guy or gal just like you. Don't be in such a hurry to grow up, since there's nothin' a kid can't do.
December 1, 201213 yr Well playing D&D, Savage Worlds (well in SW book get as many options) and few first campaigns of each new system I do it by book. But for now in OWoD, L5R, Fadding Suns and some polish never-translated to english games most of characters are realy made by home rules. With D&D one exception is a Planescape campaign I'm running now.
