Discussion: Suggestions for RPG Development

Guys, be realistic! The system with "initially weak heroes" doesn't work! Magnus demonstrated this perfectly by joining the game (Magnus, no offense:D). Every hero is a mighty, legendary warrior or mage; weak, perhaps, only at the very beginning of their biography. All that can be done is to somehow limit their abilities, expanding them as they gain levels. IMHO, although calling my post modest would be a stretch.
