[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6659485, member: 15700"] Let me repeat, because you obviously didn't read it: You're arguing that 4e isn't more limiting than AD&D, as long as you play it like AD&D. So....congrats I guess? If you have to take the one edition that was specifically designed to codify most everything and take DM Fiat away, focusing on rules not rulings, and turn it into AD&D (rulings over rules) in order to not having it be limiting, then that doesn't exactly prove your point very well. And we've already got definitive proof that the more you codify and tightly define abilities/skills/powers, the less likely people will go outside of that box, but the more likely they will rely on what's on the character sheet. This is pretty widely accepted by pretty much everyone. We even have an example right here in this discussion with Hussar assuming it "wouldn't even fly" in AD&D but was easy in 4e because there was a power defined for what he wanted. But don't worry, I'm giving you another opportunity to reply so Ashkelon can XP your post like he's done with every single one. [/QUOTE]
