[QUOTE="Gorgoroth, post: 6257835, member: 6674889"] Exactly, people here mock my point of view that the number five is quite not the same as the number six, then they turn around and say, let's change it just for the sake of changing it, because it's so similar. If 25 is so similar to 30, why change it? It's obvious this wasn't on ANYONE's radar as a bug needing to be fixed. Next they're going to make longswords do the same damage as great axes (1d10 vs 1d12 is the roughly the same relative difference as 5 vs 6). If 5 is so close to 6 that you might as well make it 6, then surely no D10 weapons should exist in the game, because then you can have everything above D10 do D12, and everything D8 and below do D6. Suddenly we're playing 13th Age and nobody cares about tradition any more, or picking up a game that we can all recognize as D&D. I see 30 speed halflings in the book and I'm going to go over it extra careful for all the other "little" changes before handing over my money. Homogenizing the game for zero benefit is a dubious use of precious developer time. [/QUOTE]
