[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8088085, member: 16814"] I'm confused. Your response below is right in line with how I read and responded to you, absent the snide tone. Tone doesn't translate with text, so expecting others to pick up your tone is a nonstarter. You complain I didn't address all of your examples, but that'sdoesn't counter my argument. It's like a gish gallop (look it up) where you throw a huge number of similar arguments and demand they all be addressed or none are. It's another nonstarter. I picked one, which is sufficient to the point. Further to that point, surgeons do actually start learning with cats. My father taught human anatomy to pre-meds, and they dissect cats because there's plenty of simularities. My point is that you can learn the technique from other sources and bring it into 5e. It isn't mainstream, a point made by everyone responding to you. In the major market share game, when looking for video that's findable, you're most likely going to find mainstream play. I'm not going to look through all the video of play available on youtube to find one that showcases how I already play. This is akin to saying you believe four leaf clovers might exist, but you'll only accept evidence in the form of a live video picking one from the patch of grass right here. Eventually one might turn up, but you've so restricted the requirements that you can freely ignore the opposing arguments. This is a form of special pleading. [/QUOTE]
