[QUOTE="Micah Sweet, post: 8870395, member: 6747251"] This is why I still maintain that a [I] lot[/I] of posters on this site (or at least several prolific ones) are big 4e fans. Regardless of your perspective, the rules are still considered more important than the story, such that the fiction should be molded so that the rules effect makes sense. I dont recall any advice suggesting otherwise, and back in the day when I asked about this stuff, people would encourage me to literally make something up so that the rules effect remained unchanged. I found that extremely irritating, and I still do. Its one of the reasons that I left 4e after playing it for about 18 months. Anyway, bashing 4e is not my intent. I just didn't care for it personally. [/QUOTE]
