I agree that there are no excuses for arbitrary nerfing of a characters abilities, but not all changes are so - some (all in my games) are introduced to reflect specific circumstances.Again, not all changes are arbitrary, nor do the characters necessarily know everything that is going on at the moment.</blockquote>
