[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 2230434, member: 6533"] I don't know man, I think my post stands up pretty well to your original statements. There might indeed be a better way for Mike to sell it, but I think you're being too harsh on it regardless. Not to mention giving way too much credit to any DnD class other than the Bard for having a wealth of concepts at its disposal. Paladins are pretty much only about kicking ass, in the name of the Lord mind you, but still kicking ass. Also, for some reason, they're moderately good at stopping plagues from taking out your party. Considering how much 'fluff' Hunters had in terms of using skills appropriately to their theme, if Iron Lore is going to give Archers with similar 'concept' abilities I'm going to be a lot happier with the consistency of those concepts and wealth of options in feats and skills than I'm going to be with the Paladin's throw away miracle. I suppose we'll get some data for that test next week with the Archer's sneak preview, though I don't think the experiment will be finally concluded till we see the structure of the skill and feat system. Also, no matter how artfully it's used, any sentence with the phrase 'Boo-yah' in it is automatically sillier than somewhere around 90% of the sentences ever phrased in English. Even that last sentence qualifies. [/QUOTE]
