[QUOTE="rogueattorney, post: 3462676, member: 17551"] Y'know, let this be a lesson against allowing your perceptions of what happened nearly 20 years ago to cloud your current opinions. I went back and tried to find the editorials by Dave Cook. The main two I was thinking of were in Dragon #118 and #121. They were entitled "Who Dies" referring to pc classes. The first was supposed to be somewhat provocative (at least according to Cook in his second editorial) call for opinions on the content of the 2e PHB. In retrospect and in light of the changes in 3e, it looks down-right conservative. While I don't agree with the decisions the design team eventually made or even some of the basic assumptions going into the re-design, it wasn't as harsh as I remembered it. The second was answering some fan mail that was responding to the first. Of course, at the time I was 13, and I was "like OMfG!!1!! Non-weapon profs are totally the SuXXors!!!1!!" A line from #121 that's quite funny now: [/QUOTE]
