@LightningYu I understand your perspective but the argument that it modeling pen and paper means it needs to be balanced is strictly speaking false. Anyone who has every played pen and paper (which includes me regularly for about 10 years now) knows that just about nothing in any pen and paper rpg is balanced in any meaningful way and yet we love and enjoy it anyways despite it being by nature a multiplayer experience.
Here are a few examples of popular pen and paper formats and which base classes are particularly ridiculous in terms of power with almost no consequence to gameplay feel: (keep in mind that these are subjective opinions but you get the point)
Pathfinder: Paladin and basically any pure caster (but particularly arcane casters)
D&D 5E: Barbarian, wild shaping druids at early lvls, and certain warlock builds, and basically any pure caster (ranger and rogue are also still popular choices despite being complete trash in combat)
Apocalypse World: Gun Lugger (7 aoe armor piercing harm anyone?)
Across all P&Ps: Any class that has meaningful buffs (I'm looking at you bard @_@)
I could easily keep going but the point is that, while balance is still something that should be attempted, getting it just right really isn't that important especially in an RP heavy setting such as this.

I forgot, even my signature is related to RPGs. XD
