[QUOTE="GreyICE, post: 6035271, member: 6684526"] Oh come on. What if the Paladin was designed so that they were as good as the fighter while fighting undead... and undead alone? And Wizards said "Well, the default assumption we were using was that all campaigns would face entirely undead enemies, if Paladins are fighting something else the DM can houserule it to fix this problem." What if they include the 3E Druid, and say "well, the default assumption is that the Druid will be played by newer players who don't have any idea what they're doing, so the design is fine, and if it's played by a more experienced player then the DM should fix it?" What if they don't include any rules for torches or light sources, and say "Well we're going with the default assumption that everyone is playing a character with low light vision or blindvision, so we figured the default rules didn't need that, if DMs want to put it in they can houserule it?" How is any of this garbage acceptable, Kamikaze Midget? It's not! It's clearly not! The only reason you can't see this IN THIS VERY SPECIFIC CASE is that you don't like the default rules. - Also anyone who doesn't like AEDU can houserule it, AEDU should be the default for D&D Next - Anyone who doesn't like gridded combat can houserule it, grid combat should be the default for D&D Next - Anyone who wants Vancian casting can houserule it, Wizards shouldn't be Vancian in D&D Next Hope these opinions make perfect sense to you and you agree with them~ [/QUOTE]
