[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 1018505, member: 707"] Interesting, but faulty, I think. CRPGs have had no problem altering D&D rules in the past when it didn't work for them. I doubt that they've been pressuring the WotC game designers to change the game for programmability, or even whether most game designers would know what's programmable or what's not. Your [i]identify[/i] example is flawed. CRPGs have never had a problem with the passage of time. They already do it, whenever the party wants to "Rest" and regain all their hp and spells. Screen goes black, comes back up, 8 hours have passed. Voila! The change to [i]identify[/i] was for [i]players[/i] who didn't like waiting until they got back to town to start using their loot. ;) On the subject of the thread: An interesting note is that Aasimars and Tieflings are now unaffected by it. Poor aasimar paladins. :( [/QUOTE]
