Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thaedrus" data-source="post: 3546575" data-attributes="member: 51694">Basically the argument about whether Bo9S belongs in D&D comes down to the "fighters should not get to have nice abilities", or the "melee characters should not do anything they couldn't do in real life" camp verses the "if casters can do cooler things, why can't melee characters" and the "I like this kind of cinematic crazy crap" camp.I personally don't see why, in a world of duskblades, PsiWarriors, and paladins who can cast spells, not to mention the physics suspending things that full casters can do, would have no place for warriors who have taken their martial skills into the fantastic realms. D&D attracts people who are almost fanatically creative and open minded, and if you are on these boards it places you in the nerdy extremes of this already fringe group. Take up the challenge, bring your near godlike creative powers to bear, and admit that you can bring this new creative and fantastic expression of nerdhood into your own personal metaverse. We all know that flavor is imminently mutable, so spice to ones taste, but do not say that this interesting, fun, and creative new mechanic "has no place in REAL D&D". What does real even mean in D&D? Bo9S expresses the crappy editing of most of WotC products these days. Get over it and use the creativity that it brings out.  Even with the editing and even slight mechanical vagueries (sp?) it is still the most interesting thing to come out of WotC since 3E.</blockquote>
