[QUOTE="Hardhead, post: 725753, member: 2844"] If you're the type of player that believes that nothing else besides combat statistics is really relevant, then there's not much point in us debating. We have very different styles. *shrug* Obviously, WotC can change whatever they want, but why do so if it isn't necessary? Would Dark Sun fans have been upset if Thri-kreen had been changed in the MM2 so that they were now born live (instead of in eggs) and didn't have that weird clutch-memory thing? Probably, because it would have been a pointless change, it would have been just changing flavor for the sake of it. Would Forgotten Realms fans have been upset if Lloth was no longer the major goddess of the drow? Probably. Would PS fans be annoyed if they [i]completly[/i] changed how Outsiders work in the default cosmology? Yeah. It annoys me because there's no real reason to do it. In fact, he could have made a much cooler class that started out as a Dretch and changed forms as they leveled and advanced through the tanar'ri ranks. That'd have been really nifty. That's not an excuse. They've repeatedly said that they want to "remove the DM from the equation". In other words, the DM shouldn't have to worry about game balance, becuase it's already balanced. I haven't read through SS enough to know if it's balanced or not, but if it isn't, then it should be. I pay for products so I don't [i]have[/i] to Rule 0 everything. I want something that is balanced no matter what. [/QUOTE]
