[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 5784749, member: 28487"] First off apologies if you feel insulted by my words, it was not my intention but I was mildy irritated by the notion that if one felt 3.x was imbalanced one had bad players or was a poor DM and I know that was not you, or at at I don't reall you writing that.
