And should use their brain for more important information. And they're probably much less "into D&D" than I am, for at least two of them, it's just a fun pastime, but doing co-op on a Xbox, playing board games, or just hanging around would suit them equally well. And perhaps something rules lighter would suit some of them better... but it's "our game", if you know what I mean, and usually, it's enjoyable.And ultimately, I think, that's a different style of play, and how dedicated you are to your game.I have no problem with lack/existence of the Golden Wyvern. What bothers me is that the Golden Wyvern is the moniker used to described a somewhat often referenced rule, meaning I'm forced to use that as my "mental bookmark" or as keyword to remember it/look it up.And that it clashes with the other implied flavour of the game. Paladin, channelling, wizard, sorcerer, track, cleave, golden wyvern, dodge. Who's the odd man out here?True, the more technical names do this as well, BUT they are easier to gloss over, because they're generic and somewhat bland, while Golden Wyvern bears very different connotations - as a metaphor: If you mix spices with bland stuff, you'll only taste the spices. If you mix them with pulverized fish, you'll get a very different flavour.On a closing note: It's odd how messageboards make you look like you're in rage about it - in fact, it bothers me only a bit... but it's sure interesting to discuss the merits of ideas.Cheers, LT.</blockquote>
