The review would be lower based soley on the premise that is was produced by WotC.It works the same way at RPG.net if you are a monkey with a typewriter in your closet and you pour your soul into a product and vanity press ten copies, damn your ratings will soar. If it is d20 anything specifically but massed produced in general, it will stink, no matter what the quality of the product. They tend to be the gaming coinsurers and could not consider something as blasé and common as a mass produced game worth their time. Sorta like the critics who bash Diehard cause it does not have a plot or Terminator for the cliched acting by Arnold.Side Note: Psion - normally I tend to agree with alot of your opinions (It must be the Hero roots) but to dismiss the channeling system as less than inventive and orignal does not really seem up to par for you. I don't think the system deserves a 5 but it does deserve respect for the things it does well.</blockquote>
