[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 7700855, member: 5100"] Sure. Tell me why you think tying it to the Far Realms would be beneficial. Have an actual conversation, instead of just being dismissive. My opinion is equally meaningful as any other poster, here. I'm not upset that people don't agree with me. I think it's odd "ignore the fluff" is seen as anything resembling an intelligent response in a conversation on a playtest document. There are really two conversations going on. One is "Does the fluff matter"? The other assumes flavor matters and is "Is it appropriate to tie psionics to the Far Realm?" Neither one of those is appropriately responded to by "Just ignore the fluff." My answer to the first question is "yes". I've given reasons multiple times, so I'll save some space. To the second, I say, "No". I've also given reasons for that. If one disagrees with either of my answers, I'm more than happy to hear why and to see their reasons. The general expectation of a conversation, however, is to actually reply on topic. "Just ignore it," is not on topic. It dismisses the entire conversation as irrelevant and not worth having. So, the next question to be asked of [U]you[/U] is "why are you even reading this thread?" You clearly don't feel like there's a conversation to be had here based on merit of actual discussion. You've got a pat answer for anyone who disagrees with you, and it doesn't even require you to justify it. So, you've accomplished your intent. [/QUOTE]
