[QUOTE="Black_Swan, post: 3911247, member: 10982"] I've read through the thread and please pardon my ignorance but I think this issue can be solved by looking at the objective of the new version. This will give us an insight into the reason the feats have been given names like this. We may even need to drill down into the objective for the character portion of 4e. For example..if the objective is to give D&D a more updated flavor in line with the latest card games, then the new feat names make sense. You'd be able to build a character like a deck of cards. Each character is a deck and you slowly gather the feats and abilities (Better cards) to make the deck more effective. So instead of the card "Cleave" which is generic and not very card game like, you get "Dragon tail slice". I doubt that the names are being plucked out of thin air just to make them sound cool to the designers. There's a solid reason as to why the names are being chosen. The objective of 4e will give us insight into that reason and shed some light on other design choices. So..what is the objective of 4e? [/QUOTE]
