[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 2752456, member: 31734"] Actually, I meant intractable, but I guess the synonym to "infeasible" or "impracticable" is archaic. Oh well. :) It's impractical not just because of all the weapon choices, but all of the feats, ability score choices, character classes, etc. Someone might have spear because of weapon choices, or deity-granted bonuses, etc. Anyway, I certainly don't expect to have any prove my statement wrong or for me to justify it. It's merely an opinion, nothing more. I see what you're saying. I specifically pointed out earlier that I don't feel it's unbalanced that way, so I didn't mean "no downside" as saying it's too good or anything. My point was merely that it was odd. In other words, if you have a spear and plan to ready an action to attack, you will always ready to set against a charge. Why? Because there's no downside to it at all if when readying against a charge you are also considered readied against a non-charge. Don't you find that odd? We are definitely not. Your two points for a downside are comparing readying with not readying. That's not what I'm talking about at all, and totally off-topic from the OP. If it helps bring this non-debate to and end, you and I seem to agree 100%, except that you don't seem to agree that we are not talking about the same topic. :lol: Well, there you go. That's exactly it. I agree it's not really an issue because either way is not really unbalanced, but that's the question raised by the OP. Are we good to go, then? ;) [/QUOTE]
