[QUOTE="Felon, post: 973869, member: 8158"] Yep, and unfortunately that's the way ENWorld polls are typically set up. A good example of a past question was "Do you think dwarves needed all these little extra bonus abilities they're getting in 3.5e?", where the poller didn't just ask for a simple "yes", "no", or "undecided". Instead what you get is: "Yes, dwarves were hopelessly weak before." "No, dwarves were already way too powerful." "I hate dwarves." Usually this is indicative of a poller who is ever-so-subtly trying to get his own bias across. It goes a long way towards invalidating the poll before it even starts. Also, pollers usually don't preface their polls with the proper reference for what they're polling about. They just assume everyone's on the same page with them. Using the above example, no explanation was provided as to what the dwarf bonus abilities are, or what the source of the info was Likewise, with this poll I don't know where it was initially disclosed that crit range increases don't stack. I'd like to check out the source before I submit my vote. [/QUOTE]
