[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6663280, member: 6787650"] Why do you get so angry about what other people care about? Say WotC starts publishing a whole bunch of material that caters to you and the 4E folks, and I see the new direction and get turned off 5E and start playing something else, possibly AD&D 2nd edition and possibly something non-TTRPG. Why do you care? Why do other people's preferences offend you so much? Hussar, you need to review the difference between "dissociated mechanic" and "unrealistic mechanic." You seem to be confusing one with the other. As long as the fighter is aware of the fact that he has a reserve of energy that gives him more HP, and he knows that that reserve gets depleted when drawn upon but recharges after an hour, the ability is associated by definition. It's still Vancian, and it's still a superpower, but it is in no way dissociated. I'm not in love with the fighter's version of Psionic Regeneration, a.k.a. Second Wind, but it's in RAW so I'll live with it. Apparently D&D fighters regenerate. [B]Also, the way you impute ulterior motives to other people is annoying. [/B] [/QUOTE]
