[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 9304086, member: 82106"] Listen, I'm an old enough guy that the Internet didn't really come around (and by that I mean AT ALL for regular people, not 'got big') until I was old enough to have lived to adulthood before it existed. We were not ignorant barbarians. We actually went places, talked to people, 'got around' in fact, rather more than people do today actually. Sure, we didn't have online forums to discuss all our opinions on a daily basis. I can still tell you, people were not going on about time based usage 'powers' in pre-4e D&D, they just weren't. People DID express their opinions, and it just never came up, because it simply wasn't something notable to talk about. And again, and I posted this before, EVERYTHING IN D&D IS 'MAGIC'. It is all entirely fantastical in nature! There is simply no friggin way that characters, of ANY CLASS are doing stuff that bears anything beyond a faint resemblance to stuff that normal human beings in the 'mundane' world do, not past 3rd level for sure. The 'it is only a problem for the mundane' is thus a non-argument, it doesn't fly any better than a lead duck. [/QUOTE]
