I think you lot have got the wrong end of the stick.
I too like the free system, becuase of that you can mix the attributes to what you feel is the best for the particular class.
E.g in my mind a barbarian is as i describe above...
Of course other people have have a different idea of what a barbarian is and so they will choose their skills/methods of playing which suit them and under the free/open <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> system they should be allowed to do so.
So if i was playing an assassin, i would choose the backstab/sword expertise/embrace shadows/poison weapon maybe stun and in the game i would not care about a + reputauion but about what was in it for me.
