[QUOTE="shoak1, post: 6922386, member: 54380"] Please don't try to portray D and D as an RPG only. D and D was founded as a hybrid rpg/miniature game and has gone through many different incantations that alternatively favored RPGers (5e), miniature enthusiasts (3.5), and power gamers (4e). The RPG purists are admittedly currently on top in the edition wars. But guess what - modern gamers want to beat the game, and use analytics to do it. Embrace them and learn to share your game fairly or watch your game slowly wither and die or get turned on its head next edition. In any case, lets hope the "power gamers" you deride are kinder to you and your "normal casual players" in 6e than you are to them while you're on top in 5e. You did get one thing right lol - if something is 12% more powerful than another, one of em's broken! So you have completed the first step in the road to acceptance and tolerance - which is to understand what we don't like. The second step would be not telling us it doesn't matter, and instead taking our objection seriously....in other words acting like you want to share the playing field... [/QUOTE]
