[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6437829, member: 37579"] Not... really. I wasn't saying something was broken per se. I was saying that WotC decided to add a brand new race to the game because wood elves mechanically made poor wizards. I said this was problematic for numerous reasons I really don't want to get back into discussing. The person I was debating/arguing with countered by stating that it's not a problem because you can just remove eladrin and house rule elves. Now, this is true, and I'm comfortable with house ruling, but it's not a productive counter to a D&D debate because that comment can be made about almost anything. There's very few problems that cannot be hand waved away with a statement that you can just house rule things. Which makes that statement, well, to quote you "completely and utterly pointless." It's a vestigial statement that goes off in its own direction but circles back leaving the debate in the exact same position it was before the house ruling statement was made. [/QUOTE]
