[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6222113, member: 23484"] Really? In previous test packs, modularity has been in backgrounds and skills; in the current test pack it is explicit in feats. Plus there are other optional rules (also modular) for Unusual races, custom backgrounds, experimental rules for attunement, etc. All of this fulfills the promise of modularity in different ways. Does it do so in the way you want? Probably not. But mischaracterizing what is there will not help your case. I find it incredible that anyone would expect to like every rule in a game. Since you are on a food analogy kick, let's go with another one: In daycare, when they are handing out popsicles, "you get what you get". don't like orange but prefer grape or cherry? too bad: you get what you get. You can choose not to eat the popsicle you are given (though very few pursue this option, because popsicles like rpgs can be awesome), and some will like what they get more than others. But you know what? In the end, they're still giving out popsicles because most people like most of what's there. [/QUOTE]
