[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 5599910, member: 87792"] That claim alone is enough to tell me you appear to not be reading the thread. A repeatedly made and never accepted challenge has been to find people who have had problems mixing essentials and non-essentials [B]in actual play.[/B] There have been plenty of people claiming that because the classes are different they are incompatable, but [I]all[/I] the tabletop experience posted has said it's fine. So either you are the first person to be bugged by it [I]while playing[/I] (are you? This would be interesting. And new.) Or you are making things up about the thread. We've been through this on this thread. Several times. I'm not going to ever want to play a Slayer. And neither are you. But there are people that [I]like[/I] simple classes with restricted tactical and character options. And who get overwhelmed with analysis paralysis with complex characters and lots of tactical options. Others would rather autopilot the combats and star the rest of the time - or just be given something to do while hanging out with friends and don't want it to take up too much of their attention. I'm going to repeat the spirit of a challenge I made earlier in this thread. [B]Why is it important to your fun that these people do not get classes to suit them?[/B] Believe it or not my family did. With my father checking the rulebook every game. But I can't think of another case. [/QUOTE]
