[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7957516, member: 2525"] Naw see I think they meant Thing A when they said Modularity and you thought they meant Thing B when they said Modularity and then when it turned out to be Thing A you said they had failed to deliver on their promise. I will give you an example. Mike Mearls, in July 2012, is asked directly about this question. His answer shows he means Thing A about that term Modularity, and not your Thing B: [B][/B] So there, Mike Mearls gives the example of modularity as "sorcerers and warlocks are alternatives to the traditional wizard." Here is another example, another interview in June 2012, Mearls is again asked about modularity: Here, Mearls gives the examples of playing with or without a grid, and also the examples of just telling your DM in general what you do, while someone else might want to be highly specific in saying what they do, and both being satisfied with the same rules. I don't think they ever meant Thing B when they said Modularity, and I think they told people that fairly early on, but people read Thing B into it anyway because it's what they wanted out of those rules. But they always seemed to mean "flexibility in the rules" when they said modularity. [/QUOTE]
