by Reaperfan Sat May 19, 2012 2:52 pmJust another little forum game I saw on another game's forums that I thought would be interesting here 
The rule is simple, make an incredibly minor adjustment to the way an item/spell/mechanic works that would make it a useless or overpowered mechanic.
So here goes:
Greatshields' shield bashes guarantee a stagger, regardless of the opponent's poise.
------------------------------------------------------------
Seems we need some clarification on what qualifies as "minor." So:
Good Examples: (Small change, gamechanging impact)
On the right track: (change isn't quite small enough or doesn't have quite enough impact)
Doesn't quite get it: (change makes it gamebreaking, but only because it's a big change and not a small one)
What the...: (change is too random or complex)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Will be updating examples as more people post
