It's simply a recommendation of how to make a character. There are not 16 types of character + skills + feats + options. There are 8 types of character + skills + feats + options, with 16 predescribed combinations of the above.Secondly, I'm going to be fussy about my roleplaying games. Not only do I already have a shelf bending under the weight of the many systems I already own (at least 50), but I can download a free system from the internet, use one of the several I've already written myself for my own group or write a new one should I feel so inspired.With all of those options a system is going to have to be pretty damn magnificent to be the one I pick to be my new game of choice. And I'm not going to nod meekly at whatever I'm handed and say, "well it'll be fun", when I have other options -Including not playing anything at all-.Now, I don't share the opinions necessarily of the people saying, "I don't like the rogue because it sounds like I can't do this". (I might, but I just don't feel like I've seen enough yet to be sure). But I like their worrying a whole lot more than your saying "Just smile, take what you're given and try to have fun".If I was wanting 4e to have X (The option to play a nimble fighter, monsters to kill, spells to cast, whatever) and it doesn't, then what is unreasonable about saying..."Well damn, I don't think this game is going to be right for me. Pity because I was really hoping it would be."Edit: And yes... perhaps people are going on about it a bit much but what do you expect when we're all really nervous about what's going on with a game we like and WOTC is playing games with people to drum up some anticipation for their new product? (Here's one small bit of the game out of context... want to know more, you'll have to wait until you're sallivating).</blockquote>
