[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2325954, member: 23094"] Point me to a single post wherein I made a [b]personal[/b] attack against the writers of the FAQ. I think you'll find a great number of [b]professional[/b] attacks - as in, they're getting paid to do this, they should perform that duty at least as well as *I* do - but not a single personal attack. And I have never, ever claimed that the designer can do no right. On the contrary, I've applauded the times they have retracted an incorrect statement and replaced it with a correct one or did their job properly and presented a well-researched, factually-correct interpretation of the RAW. That doesn't mean I'm not allowed to criticize when they make up a new house rule, and thereby confuse an issue beyond its current state - like, say, weapon sizes, or whether or not grapple checks are actually attack rolls (the FAQ's stance on the first is in direct contradiction of the RAW and is self-contradictory on the second). So, in summation, lay off the armchair psychology. [/QUOTE]
