[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7836408, member: 12731"] I mean that statements such as "I have used it occasionally to identify creatures" are meaningless. How many Recall Knowledge actions did you spend - exactly? Did you think that expenditure was worthwhile? Have you played non-raging characters or are you basing your opinion solely on a character the action is clearly not meant for? A statement such as "It definitely is situational, but so are most things in the game" doesn't say much either. Mostly it comes across as an attempt to relativize, which does not help. So in order to have a meaningful exchange of ideas it would help to know the expectations of my dialogue partner - if Campbell believes it is okay to spend, say, 5 Recall actions per fight on average, then I would know his expectations are way off compared to mine, and that we probably won't come to any agreement. In the same vein, if Campbell's experience is that you get all the Recall Knowledge actions you want by scouting ahead, I would expect that to utterly short-circuit the expectation that these actions are used in combat. But without a more detailed picture, I simply won't know what to say as a response that seems to indicate a poster that thinks the system is reasonable and works well enough. [/QUOTE]
