[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9056081, member: 7006"] And this is why it's ridiculous for any of us to make any decisions or declarations now anyway. It doesn't matter in the slightest how any of us feel right now about whether we want to buy the product, so why waste our time and energy getting up in arms about it? We still have an entire year before we have to worry about it, and an entire year for Wizards to do whatever additions and subtractions to the game to get it into fighting shape. Who knows what is going to happen in that year and who knows how many rules are going to be changed behind the scenes that never get put out into public playtest that end up working for us (or not working for us)? All we should be doing right now is looking at these packets merely as interesting fossils of what will eventually be the 5E24 books, and giving our opinions on some of the items they are presenting (if we feel like it). But none of us should be getting excited about any of this stuff, nor mad at any of it, because the odds of actually seeing any of these individual little bits and bobs get published as-is is exceedingly small. Everything is going to change. Multiple times over. So for our own sanity... we can look at it all with a curious eye, but that should be it. No emotional connection to it at all. Anything else is a waste. [/QUOTE]
