[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6002306, member: 22779"] ARRRGHGHGH! This is what makes this conversation so frustrating. You admit that the mechanics are dissociated. It's right there. Why can't I stab someone really hard and trip them, but, I can stab them sort of hard and trip them? Whether it refreshes at the beginning or end of your turn isn't really going to change that. And, even giving more dice is still not associated to anything. But, because you like the mechanic, it's fine. The dissociation is acceptable. Thus, dissociation ISN'T the problem. The whole dissociated mechanics thing is nothing but a canard and tissue paper thin justification for why you don't like something. Again, this is why the conversation is so frustrating. A, B and C are acceptable, but D isn't even though there is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between the four. The only difference is one was written in a 4e book and the others weren't. It's edition warring with a funny pair of glasses and a fake moustache. [/QUOTE]
