It’s a Mad, MAD world
I like it. I like that you need to have lots of different skills and abilities to make a character work. I like that one rolled or chosen high score doesn’t eliminate most of the challenges for a character. I like having to make choices as to what I’m good at (not that I mind…

The DnD Basic Advantaged/Disadvantaged mechanic
