At 1st level, how powerful would you say PCs are in any edition of D&D?

[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 5490255, member: 11300"] Hello Fanboy2000, Your poll asked: "At 1st level, how powerful would you say PCs are in any edition of D&D" I felt that if I ticked "none of the above" which I suppose from your legend would be the most appropriate, I would not be adequately conveying my position. As you say, that "none of the above" option is particularly unclear and could just as easily have been ticked by an apathetic person; and thus I did not feel it was an appropriate poll selection. However, there are two other issues at play: 1) Your legend and interpretation of the answers may not agree with another reader's interpretation of those answers. The poll options should be clear enough that they do not require a further explanation. I think you muddied the poll options with your legend - or perhaps that the poll options were too general in the first place. 2) For myself, the primary aspect of your idea is the noticeable change from previous editions to the current in terms of 1st level character perceived power. Your poll does not focus on this aspect and so there is a key difference between the direction of your poll, and my own direction. I'm guessing some other people might have a similar view to mine, thus amplifying the confusion of point 1). Now, this is a shame because I think the topic is an interesting one; so apologies for giving an unsatisfactory response - but hopefully the above explanation is adequately expressed for you to understand my position. Thank you for posting this thread anyway. :) Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
