[QUOTE="Eric V, post: 7480304, member: 6779717"] "Not liking fiddley bits or system mastery traps isn't a lack of ability or intelligence..." NOWHERE did I write that, or anything like it. That's something YOU brought to the table, not me. I'll thank you not to do that again. I also did not say "system mastery traps" was a good thing either...I'm starting to suspect you didn't actually read my post. "Casual" in this sense is used the way a group of friends might get together for a board game; there's no investment required outside of actual table time. Since adjusting your character when leveling up is a matter of moments, this reflects that attitude. No one is saying that's a bad thing; it's one of the ways WotC is succeeding with D&D, and it was one of their stated goals in the first place. Got it? "... they don't want to drive people away with a wall of books. " Who the hell asked for a "wall of books?" Seriously, you have inferred all sorts of crap that I never said. What's the matter with you? If WotC released -6- books one year instead of 4, you'd stop buying? What about 5? What about just buying 4 out of the 6? Yeah, you'd have to do some research and so forth, but people do that for purchases all the time. [/QUOTE]
