Not against Mr. Jacobs and not against the book itself.People made some initial comments and James Jacobs responded with some comments of his own. I took his replies head on, point by point. Rebuked every single one and then proceeded to explain to him* how it could actually have been done better.*After he limped in with "I don't see how we could have done it better."I'm not complaining that he didn't then respond to my points, because as I stated, his position was indefensible. Psion selectively addressed some of my points, but he certainly didn't invalidate a single one, and I replied to each point he made.I'm simply calling it like I see it. While I may respect him, I'm not going to mollycoddle him or WotC. I expect everyone of you to treat me exactly the same. Designers should not be above reproach. If something doesn't make sense, then call them on it, because if you don't they just keep getting away with sloppy design.Everything I posted in the big thread on the General Discussion Forum was constructive criticism. I not only rebuked every point he made I also explained how it could be done much better.When constructive criticism is deemed 'bitchy' then its a case of political correctness gone absolutely mad.Frankly I'd lose more respect for someone if they didn't stand up for their cause, provided such opinion is backed by objective argument and not just subjective point of view.Exactly.Especially the massive gap between your top servants and the Cohort. Its just going to be massive. You need something in between to take on possible PC party threats because 200,000 ECL 1 petitioners are not going to do diddly squat against 30th-level PCs.</blockquote>
