[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 6193986, member: 221"] It is an abstraction to say: Magic Item X does not work for anyone that does not belong to Class Group Y, where Class Group Y is an arbitrary categorization made specifically for the purpose of "balance" and mechanics. That is specifically the issue I have and is the specific thing I am complaining about. It's, imo, lazy design. I don't know specifically that's how it's going to work. I am saying that is how I am hoping it does not work and if it does work that way, I will be disappointed. We are pontificating on a future and expressing opinions about possibilities. There are some possibilities I find superior to others and I am saying as much. I am not claiming to know this is what the future holds. In fact, when I first discovered the possibility yesterday of this course being followed, I was surprised because it seemed like such a lame way of doing magic items. What part of "I" means to you, I am speaking for everyone. If "I" am hoping that they do things a certain way, then "I" am expressing my personal opinion. I am not claiming to be speaking for everyone else. I can see how the "its looking good for Paizo," could be construed that way, but it could equally be construed, and should be in the context of "me" speaking for "myself," to mean that "it is looking good for Paizo to be keeping [B]my [/B]business." I do not claim, in this case, to be representative of anyone other than me. [/QUOTE]
