[QUOTE="spinozajack, post: 6607222, member: 6794198"] Oh brother. People on this forum misuse that term all the time, it's getting stale. What's hyperbolic is your use of the word [I]hyperbole [/I]to describe someone else's OPINION regarding good game design. You are being dismissive, arrogant, and rude. Besides, what exactly makes you think your opinion on this or any other game issue is inherently better than mine? I am curious here, really. Do tell. It's not hyperbolic to claim that it's better game design to have consistency in rules for players and monsters. Plenty of people other than me feel this way on this and other forums, including in this very thread. Especially considering there is a strong tradition in D&D for playing monster PCs which should be balanced. Having one set of rules for PCs (or through a spell that makes you identical to a monster in size and strength) and another for monsters is inconsistent and many people think it was a bad idea when they did that in 4th edition. Consistency is good. It's simpler and makes more sense. Stop throwing around "hyperbole" all the time when you can just say "I disagree" and leave it at that. It's passive aggressive and makes you sound foolish. If you have a point to make, make it without ad hominem attacks. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
