[QUOTE="Hawken, post: 4884569, member: 23619"] Actually, if he could explain his reasons for his changes, maybe we could help him get to what he is looking for the fastest. There's always a reason why people come here. No one just throws out a houserule and says what do you guys think without having some goal in mind. Maybe he's heading for a specific goal with a change to a class or race, or whatever. Maybe not, but explaining why he's made these changes could help out quite a bit. Its an observation, not an assumption. If he were satisfied with the RAW, then he wouldn't be here asking what we think about proposed changes. And again, I'm not challenging his motives, I was just asking what they were. If by hit their stride you mean starting at 1st level and going on from there. Of course they aren't. They are more powerful than other classes to begin with, and made even more powerful by basically unlimited (spell selection) spontaneous spellcasting. But still, he took things away from each of the classes without really offering anything in return which weakens them from what they were before (not counting the change to spellcasting). No, I'm not. You're doing that well enough on your own. It was your emphasis with the quotes around 'everyone', not my emphasis. If that wasn't the context you were going for, maybe you shouldn't have put emphasis in that sentence and then I wouldn't have had to comment on what you meant by 'everyone'. Just because Sadrik wants to dismantle the "pet" thing and you happen to agree with him on it, doesn't make me wrong for questioning why he did it and why there was no compensation for taking those features away from those classes. Familiars and animal companions are far more powerful and versatile than any feat and if they are going to be taken away from a class then something needs to be given to fill that 'vacuum' for lack of a better term. El Mahdi, you seem to have totally misinterpreted my post or you just inserted your own assumptions into my post. I wasn't starting a fight with either you or the OP. If he puts something out for everyone to look at and question, per his request, I'm fully within my rights as a critic to ask why he felt the need for the changes he's considering. And you're even within your right as a critic to ask why I'm asking that, but you have absolutely no right to assume I'm trying to pick a fight with either of you. Check yourself and your own posts before you start assuming other people are picking fights. [/QUOTE]
