[QUOTE="satori01, post: 3966580, member: 7859"] Err no that really is not that [I]unrealistic of an expectation[/I] , to say that, ( and by no means is this meant to be a personal attack, or demeaning in anyway), shows you are looking at this from a very narrow perspective. Lets look at a real world example that I think is applicable.....PC Operating systems. Windows XP works fine, not perfect, but better than what came before, and the system lets you do pretty much want you want with a minimum of head ache. Then Vista comes out, and Vista is supposed to be better, and do things better, and in some ways it does, but because Vista is so new, code for things like Wi-Fi cards and other applications can not run on Vista. So the choice for many people becomes do I upgrade to the new system and risk losing out on some functionality for the potential gain of better use for some functions, or do I stick with what for the most part works? Since for my group the point of D&D is to have fun and not having Enchantment and or Necromancy could be a large deterrent to fun....sorry guys no Morgan Le Fey type character for you, sorry Bob you cant play your Inca themed shaman that looks on the undead as a sacred tool that only the holy can use.....but you can be Tim the Sorcerer and blow things up! [B]Blowing things up in 4E, by default, will have to be so good that other archetypes will not even be considered.[/B] Under WOTC announced release schedule, it might be unrealistic to expect the Enchanter or the Necromancer, under [I]their[/I] release schedule. However, on might argue that one should not serve a cake until it rises, until it is done. Simply put No enchantment magic; not quite sure the cake is done. [/QUOTE]
