Heraclitus: Method for balancing uneven sides, muttators and variants..[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Nothing is wrong with adding any gameplay element, skill-based or
otherwise, if the players feel it enhances the game.

But the subject of this thread does not advertise a skill-based gameplay
element, it advertises a method for achieving game balance.  Those are
completely different things!  If I'm acting as a game designer, I don't want a technique I use for balancing my game to change the nature of that game or alter the skills required to win.
