[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 3846073, member: 10095"] As is the case with every other publicly-traded company in the world. I use it because it's ridiculous. Why is it ridiculous? Because every claim of their deception has been debunked thoroughly, yet people still spout it off like it's gospel truth. I'll concede this point. If movement is presented strictly in squares, then yes, movement has been noted to be more miniatures friendly (and to mesh with DDM). However, remember what your evidence for that is... monster stats for the [b]D&D Miniatures Game[/b]. Now it makes sense for the stats for the miniatures game to favor miniature movement, but that doesn't necessarily tell us what the [b]D&D Roleplaying Game[/b] says. So, explain how pointing out that you're just perpetuating disinformation that has been debunked is hyperbole or an ad hominem attack. I don't time travel, but I do read. Did you miss the part where Andy Collins verified on his blog that gnomes are in the MM as both monster and race? Or did you just simply ignore it so you can continue spreading misinformation since you seem hell-bent on being negative about every aspect of 4e you can? Humans and elves, yes. Warforged, no. I assume elf will, since it always has before. The lack of human in 3e makes me wonder if we'll see it in 4e's MM, or in the NPC section in the DMG. Warforged will be in the MM as a monster, and will possibly receive a race writeup in there, as well. Andy Collins said the decision hadn't been made on every monster to get a race writeup. They aren't. When something is written as a monster, it is not intended to be used as a player race at all. It's intended to be run as part of an encounter. Races are written to be played and will differ in certain ways from the monster writeup. Stop spreading disinformation so they can make an informed decision. That's all I'm asking. [/QUOTE]
