[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8822735, member: 29398"] And it won't happen, until... ...everyone else, or at least a majority of same, follows on with the same change(s) and also has no problem. The disagreements, of course, arise in discussing just what those changes should be; and that's fair enough. But it's not the least bit helpful to knock anyone's suggested change(s). This follows on from the above, though, in that while it's not perhaps phrased as nicely as it could be, there's a valid point in there which says "If you think Halflings don't work you either gotta fix it yourself or follow someone else's fix, 'cause WotC ain't gonna do it.". If the community widely adopts that homebrew fix then yes it does. And in between your quotes there's a couple of words missing; it should read "I don't have this problem [B]any more[/B], because I did something to fix the problem for me and me alone, therefore the problem doesn't exist [B]for me now[/B]"; with the strong and obvious implication being that the writer feels that if you made the same fix the problem would also go away for you, lather rinse repeat until the problem is fixed comminuty-wide. Nothing wrong with saying that. If memory serves there's been quite a few such fixes presented - though maybe not fully in each case - throughout this thread. [/QUOTE]
