[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5025036, member: 15538"] Well, yeah! But seriously, maybe this is my perspective from having played GURPS, Hero System, Rolemaster, WFRP, D6, and dozens of other games but, why is it that so many other games find satisfying resolutions to situations like these, but D&D 4e falters? How is that Mutants & Masterminds can deal with characters who could literally be anything from a two-fisted detective to an angel to a superfast robot, and yet 4e rests on the assumption that this level of homogenity is problematic? So, yes, it is a matter of play preference. All the arguments that have been made thus far on the basis of balance are essentially moot, because it hasn't been established there is an inherent play imbalance between characters with different trumps. It is simply a matter of play style preference. Why would I be motivated to invent surface-dwelling kobolds, if 4e didn't ask me to? How do I reconcile the idea of a surface-dwelling creature with this thing whose main connection to real world mythology is that it lives underground? So was I right, were the 4e designers wrong? Are you saying PC kobolds should have darkvision? [/QUOTE]
