Because I want things that claim to be different to actually be different. Nobody bothers describing their spellcasting anyway, so saying “you can describe casting your spells as making something with a tool and using that tool to create the desired effect” doesn’t really mean anything. I don’t just want to say my Artificer’s magic is different, I want my Artificer’s magic to be different.But you're ignoring what that actually means. You're making something with a tool, and using it to create the magical effect described by the spell. Why do you want an extra mechanical step to take what the rules are already saying, and just...say it harder and with more complexity?
If I’m yelling it’s because I’m being told to shut up. I expressed my opinion about what I would like to see in an Artificer, got told I was wrong for wanting that and that I was “making false claims,” and I have only been justifying and defending my opinion since. You might notice that a few people have expressed a difference of opinion without attacking my opinion, and I ha e not responded to those people. Because I’m not really interested in arguing about what the Artificer should look like. But I’m also not going to lay down and take it when told that the Artificer shouldn't look like what I want out of it.This isn't the survey, though. And wotc doesn't read these threads. At all. Ever. You're just yelling at people who have no say in what happens, at this point. You, I assume, provided your feedback. So did the rest of us. We'll see what happens next, but post after post crapping on the basic premise of the class isn't helpful or interesting.
