E6 does it extremely poorly."), are mutually contradictory.  That indicates confusion.An examination of your statements leads one to believe that it isn't merely the relation of threat to PC level that you view as conducive to fun play.  You clearly are looking as specific types of threats as acceptable, and others as not acceptable.  Perhaps you meant to clearly demark this part of your statements from those related to "cinematic" play, but it is (I think) understandable if there is some confusion here.The above seems to strongly suggest some relationship between these opinions.  It is no disparagement on anyone's language ability to be able to see that suggestion.  In specific, it suggests that the more "realistic" something is, the less "cinematic" it is, and vice versa.RC</blockquote>
