[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 5664244, member: 87792"] This is utterly and completely false. You can put yourself into one stance and leave yourself there. And not think about it. If you are going to make crap up about Essentials then no wonder you don't like it. This is false. If you ignore the power declaration phase you've messed up and need to retcon. If you don't change your stance then [I]by the rules as written[/I] you remain in the same stance you were in last time. This is false. With stances it's not an "I guess" it's an "it is." No wool. No fudging of the rules. And what do you do if you used an encounter last time? Your logic does not apply. From 1 choice to 2. And you yourself have said you don't mind this one and that it's a design improvement. You can't even keep consistent let alone engage in arguments. No. What crashed the system is that higher level psionic at wills cost more PP to augment. Which means that you can spam what should be heroic tier encounter powers almost at will. Which means that the augment 2s either need to be crap or to not scale at all. And as debuffs scale automatically, no augment 1 or 2 heroic power should do any sort of decent debuff. Healer druids came from the goddamn archetype Druids themselves came from. The were-creature is more or less an artifact of 3rd edition. The more I post, the more I think Matt James is right. Goodbye. You won't be missed. [/QUOTE]
