[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8816573, member: 6801228"] Why are you people so obsessed with a thing I never claimed? I have never once said my thoughts on the design are "objective". I have said that, [I]repeatedly[/I]. If all I needed to do was not claim that my opinions, logic, thoughts, posts, emotions, ect are not objective to get you people to stop, then none of you would ever have responded to me because I've never claimed objectively unassailable facts. And in fact, this is the second time I've spoken to you specifically Faolyn in telling you I have not tried to claim some "objectivity" that you can rail against. Yes, I know I said the words "it is a bad design" and somehow that made you think that I was speaking on high as the ultimate authority of all things objectively true, but that's you thrusting your ideas into my post, not my post itself. And sure, people have had some goods ideas for it. By adding in things that do not exist at all. I could argue that dinosaurs make wonderful artillery units by saying that I just believe that they have internal recoilless railguns in their shoulders, but if the artwork doesn't show railguns in their shoulders, it is a little hard for me to claim that the picture of the dinosaur led me to that conclusion. After all, there is nothing in the picture that supports that conclusion. And, in fact, evidence that leads to that conclusion being false. And, as for your "so what" as I explained. This entire thing spawned out of a single idea. The idea that it is possible for DnD to have bad content. That's it, that's the "so what?". It is possible that not all DnD content ever created over the course of 50 years is good. Such a simple thing to try and establish. [/QUOTE]
