[QUOTE="nutluck, post: 4125274, member: 4844"] Yet 4e COULD have made rules to make both work. There is no reason they couldn't, the work in other systems. They could have had a talent tree for light armed warriors, they could have had a general social talent tree anyone could take to make them good at social stuff. There is no reason at all 4e couldn't have acomidated this. Just because that is how YOU played DnD every time does NOT make it the only way it can be played. Nor does it make it the only way DnD can be FUN. I have personally played in DnD games where there was zero combat and not a single dice was rolled the whole night. yet everyone had a blast and enjoyed it, in fact it is one of the most talked about game sessions when I get with my old group to hang out. My point was and still is, there is many ways to play DnD and they can all be just as fun. People do like different things, 4e is catering to a certain style, that doesn't make said style the only one that people played or the only one 4e should have. 3e accomidated other styles of play better. If you like 4e I am glad for you, if you love it's play style great. i hope 4e turns out to be the game of your dreams. But that doesn't make Lizards or my style or thoughts on DnD any less valid, because we see things differently and played the game obviously very differently than yourself. [/QUOTE]
