Message: <blockquote data-quote="TwoSix" data-source="post: 7739941" data-attributes="member: 205">If I said "My kid spends all his time in his room playing video games" and your response is "Actually, he left 3 times to go the bathroom, 4 times to retrieve snacks and beverages from the refrigerator, and actually spends 10.5 hours per day in their room sleeping, not playing video games," you've done two things.1)  Prove my common parlance is in fact just a rhetorical embellishment, and that my original argument is overblown and factually inaccurate.2)  Done absolutely nothing to advance the conversation.To paraphrase something I read a long time ago that I try to apply on messageboard discussions, "Don't defeat the current argument of your opponent.  Defeat the best argument that your opponent could have made."Yes, martial builds do have other options than move and attack.  But they have a paucity of options compared to spellcasters.  What I'd like to hear an argument is an argument that it's a good thing for the game to have classes with a limited menu of options, or that there are actually options available to martials I'm not aware of, or some other line of thought.  Those are interesting discussions to have.  "Your obvious hyperbole must be exposed as obvious hyperbole" is not.</blockquote>
