Hi,
The way the rest system *should* work is to even the playing field between these groups *slightly*, while still allowing those who play more (and more effectively) to come out ahead over time.
Why? If you study less than I do, should you get easier tests? If you practice less than I do, should you get to tee off from the red tees? If you work at the same job less than I do should you get more per hour? Then why the . . . should you get a bonus in a game?
And if you can come up with a non-whining communist answer to that, tell me just what an "even playing field" even means in an RPG? Isn't an even playing field where everybody has the same chance to advance according to the effort they put into it and the skill they have?
