[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8132586, member: 6855114"] Empirical evidence can be as good as physical evidence, especially when the results are the same. I don't need to see a lepton and a quark to know they exist. The same apply to the removal of that rule. They were advertising that rule as part of TCoE and it was supposed to be a real big deal. Turns out that someone saw the potential for disruptiveness this rule had and WotC decided to remove it without explanations. If that rule did not have that disruptive potential it would have seen print. Popularity has nothing in the decision to print or not. The only reason to remove something so close to release that was almost a flagship of the book, is simply because it was disruptive, unbalanced or whatever negative qualifier you want to apply to it. Again, keep in mind that WotC does not really care for old and experience gamers like me or Max, or you. They care about the silent majority that lacks the experience to apply or not a rule and to see the implications this rule will have in the long run. They decided to ignore their base with 4ed and they got burned hard. (But I really liked 4ed...) [/QUOTE]
