All 4e did was to simply state the obvious, certainly not the revolutionary concept you are making it out to be. If anything, it seems to me that wotc is simply trying to cover its backside by including such vague and general sweeping statements to cover up any deficiencies (be it real or perceived) with 4e. "Oh crap, the rules are actually rather vague and incomplete, and fail to cover some key aspects of the game. I know - I will just insert a clause which 'advises' players to come up with their own rules instead. This way, it will be seen as a feature, not a bug." <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />It is not so much that we cannot come up with new material, it is more that we should not have to. What is the point of paying so much for a book whose advice is to tell us to create our own stuff, when it should be providing them for us?<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rant.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rant:" title="Rant    :rant:" data-shortname=":rant:" /></blockquote>
