[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 4129297, member: 3192"] Actually, there are stories the rules will be transparent to DMs, so they can understand why all the rules are as they are. This is one of the best things about 4e IMO as previous editions were poor at explaining why they had chosen the designs they had. That and siloing which may mean tinkering can go on in one "silo" without effecting the balance of the game in other areas. Also very cool. I'd still prefer it if they made the rules transparent (and as customizable as possible) for the DM and opaque for the players. I don't want to be thinking about the rules when playing my character. I want to be thinking about the world. I want to be challenged and rewarded for thinking outside the box and rules keep you in those. BTW, why would any publisher's "OFFICIAL(tm)" version of a class have any effect on an individual home game played outside those offices? Aren't we all "official? [/QUOTE]
