[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 5236627, member: 9789"] See, and that seems like a reasonable response: but then you have to take into consideration that as a first-time reader of the PHB two years ago, even [I]I[/I] knew that power was the end-all be-all. Why didn't they? This is a rant I've been on for a while, frankly, but I honestly don't think they had anyone really check their publications for "balance" or "reasonableness" when they first came out. I mean, I KNOW they never copy-edited them (see page XX for more details on that), but I don't think they really ever had much of a process. Stuff that was painfully obviously over-the-top broken was left alone for years, and then later fixed through errata. My question remains: where were these quality control people two years ago, when this stuff was rushing to print? Some of these interactions are not obvious and may take a while to figure out - I grant you - but other stuff (a LOT of stuff) is definitely not. Anyway, this is just my personal rant; I've been saying it for years; feel free to ignore. :) [/QUOTE]
