[QUOTE="Zaran, post: 5434913, member: 56710"] I guess I am in the minority of people who was disappointed in the article. I thought only 7 pages +1 page for a picture was not enough for such project as building a stronghold. I know that when I make a stronghold for my character I like to detail it out as much as possible. I bet alot of players who want to "waste" gold into something that isn't helpful in combat are like me in that regard. I did not like the "One size fits all" thing. I thought it would have been better (and I will do this) to say it costs 25000/300= 83 gold per space. I also did not like the "spend 640 gold and Epic rogues will have just as hard as a time as the level 1 newbie rogue in picking the locks" The cost should have scaled with the DC as others have pointed out. I am starting to believe "Unearthed Arcana" is Draconic for "We don't read this drek, just print it." I also want more info on staff. I want to know what to do when players want to rent out space or stuff out of it like an inn or tavern. I always felt that 4e condenses things down too much and always keeps me wanting more. I feel like that if I feel like I need to go to a prior edition to get more info then that's a sell that WotC is missing out of. I guess I can sum up this whole post to this: "A new edition should never have less info than an old one because there will be someone like me who will complain." [/QUOTE]
