[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9592856, member: 6790260"] I mean, that's...literally what it is though. Why are people so upset about something simply because it has a [I]name[/I] that offends them? If literally nothing--nothing [I]whatsoever[/I]--about its fluff or crunch changes in any way...except the name...why should it matter? This is [I]literally[/I] part of the absurd hatred criticized, even lambasted, by Shakespeare in [I]Romeo and Juliet[/I]: "'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; ..." To kick up a fuss because it is [I]nicknamed by fans[/I] as "damage on a miss" when...it is literally damage you deal...even though you've not hit their AC...but to [I]accept with open arms[/I] if it were nicknamed, say, "automatic damage"...I just don't understand it. It's openly irrational, not even bothering to hide behind subjectivity. [/QUOTE]
