SKR's Opinions on 3.5

[drnuncheon]

Psion -> Re: Elves' Proficiencies: If elves were to treat Longswords, Shortswords, Longbows and Shortbows as simple weapons, classes that don't get Simple Weapon Proficiency (monk, druid, wizard) don't get these four weapons. As is, all elves, regardless of class, get these four feats.

That's the difference Sean was aiming at.

That would have been (IMO) an extremely lame change, on the same level as a lot of the other "WTF?!" changes that were made. But then, I like the fact that every elf is able to handle a sword or a bow, at least a little bit, whether he's a fighter or a wizard.

I got the impression from the way he wrote that SKR thought the Weapon Familiarities were a neat idea, and he wanted to use them in this case too, to make things more standardized - but I don't like the feel it gives.

Sorry I screwed up the link, guys. I had just posted a link to the anger story in an email, so I guess I missed a key when I hit 'ctrl-c' to bring the opinion piece over here...
