[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5476280, member: 71571"] Didn't say it was. Still waiting for accurate stats for the D&D movies, R A Salvatore novels, actually pretty much anything Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun... yadda...yadda...yadda. This isn't the first time they've failed at statting properly, and it won't be the last, and as these things go, this is... yeah. I mean complaining because some guy over a year ago said he was to be a warlord? Alright, but is he [b]using warlord powers?[/b] No? Things change. Get over it. Make the discussion about -that-. The math on a character sheet is wrong? Seriously? If I had a game book for every time a fourth edition character's sheet was wrong mathematically, I'd have all the gamebooks. Again, old problem is old. Complaining that he's a knight teamed up with a paladin? Seriously? Look, pointing out the errors on the sheet is one thing but everything after that is just... it's the sort of nitpickery that defeats the entire purpose of the product. It's not so that veterans of the game can look at it and go 'yes yes, this is an accurate comic and you can see every power and look the math all works out!' It's a comic used to show a cool character and get people who don't know anything about the game interested in the game. 'Hey, I could totally do that! Look, this guy is doing awesome things, it's a game? I can do awesome things!' None of those purposes requires 100% accuracy, and judging the product based on things that are not relevant to its target audience and goal is rather pointless. This is why people call us nerds. Because the second something comes out that isn't 100% accurate to yardsticks that the people it is marketted to won't CARE about we complain and nitpick. NERDS! [/QUOTE]
