No of course not.I think that it's the same with Robert Schwalb. Clearly, he thinks that Skill Challenges were a poorly-implemented mechanic, to say the least. BUT to pretend that he's bashing 4th edition because of that is not sound reasoning, to say the least.Come on people, stop trying to see conspiracies against your favorite edition/game mechanic everywhere... it gets old pretty fast.(and by the way, just to make sure: I'm not targeting either Mika nor Vyvyan Basterd with that last remark, even though I quoted them)</blockquote>
