Yes, literally over lunch circa 1986. Though we quickly upgraded to AD&D.

My preference is that the game be constructed in such a way that no character needs to have any magic items in order to meaningfully contribute. This creates the freedom for magic items to be uncommon enough that even a less than optimum item is still coveted sufficiently to feel special, and...

"While you are in beast form, you can't use attack, utility, or feat powers that lack the beast form keyword, although you can sustain such powers." Isn't English an awfully imprecise language? The strictest reading of that means when wildshaped the only powers you can use are feat powers that...

Don't forget to mention all the dead fish floating to the top of the lake from the sudden drastic dip in pH.

There is a slightly better scorching burst. There are two single target at-wills that can sub for an RBA, one of which with a slide attached. There are also a 2 target ranged and an iffy aoe slow. There is a Wis/Con build and a Wis/Int build, emphasis on Wis either way. There is a surprising...

I'd say Vanguard Lightning is just a very solid A. A+ should probably be reserved for those choices that are both build defining and likely to be used at every opportunity. VL will probably show up in the large majority of Invoker builds but I'm guessing it will be pretty rare that it will be...

Personally I feel mono-stat classes favor races with the appropriate stat bonuses too much, particularly in point build environments.
