[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8750258, member: 6790260"] Sometimes. Depends on context. I always felt awesome using [I]I Am The Law[/I] as a Paladin in Dungeon World, even though that was a basic move I had from the very beginning and which never changed its function across an entire two-year-ish campaign. In my current game, the Battle Master still continues to use tactics he had from day 1. These tactics have saved his bacon and others'. Knowing you avoided a bad situation by the +1 you got from an ally? Pretty awesome, if a little hair-raising. The party Bard, who learned minor shapeshifting from the (now-semi-retired) Druid, is really obviously always just [I]delighted[/I] to be able to turn into a little sparrow and hide from opponents or scout around in public places with minimal risk of being caught. (Not zero risk though; his tiefling horns remain a tell IIRC, so a close examination would give him away.) The aforementioned Druid never stopped being happy with his living-wood stick, even though he got it in like the third session. Something being awesome does not mean that it has to be bowl-you-over [I]dramatic[/I]. Waterfalls inspire awe, and yet they are a necessary and natural consequence of the existence of gravity and the water cycle. [/QUOTE]
