[QUOTE="Mon, post: 5233146, member: 71673"] I will try to respond without breaking my promise to JB. Bad form, by the way, sweeping in after such a promise is made and trying to get the last word in when my hands are tied! ;) I am not disputing that flexibility = power and would even say that it is implicit. Or at least well-established. Making a note/analysis/nitpick of a potential power-level outlier, however, is not the same thing. Having said that, and to repeat myself, I don't actually think the spell thing is particularly powerful and certainly not overpowered. Just better than 1hp or 1 skp. We're talking about it now for the same reason you are. Because we're interested in the APG and want to talk about it now! That's what the previews are for... to get folks talking. We're discussing/speculating aspects of a product in the correct thread/forum for it, and are entitled to do so. And I, for one, will do it again after next weeks preview too. If it's obviously better in most cases, we're back to 3.0 toughness in terms of design (but in reverse :P). As you'll see from my posts, that was precisely my point. No argument here. You may, indeed, want a hp over a spell for a qualitative reason rather than a quantitative one. [/QUOTE]
