I have stated repeatedly that doing damage is the best option THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME. I never once said all the time. That is all you. I have given math to back up the fact that all of your so called "examples" of improvisation actually lead to a larger drain on party resources and longer combats. I know this and have said as much already. That is why I used the expression nine-times in ten using an improvised action is worse than simply attacking. Pushing an ogre off a cliff will be a better use of your turn than attempting to attack it in most scenarios, but it is very rare to fight ogres near cliffsides. Who claimed that. Again you aren't even reading what I am writing. I have said repeatedly that codified abilities does not hinder improvisation. YOU CAN IMPROVISE WITH CODIFIED ABILITIES!Again because you clearly never actually read anything I wrote, here are the three points:1. Some players want special abilities that are more reliable in application and  not subject to DM whimsy.2. Some players want special abilities that cannot  be replicated through improvisation.3. Just because you have a few limited  use codified abilities, there is nothing preventing you from improvising. In  fact, you can combine improvisation with your codified abilities.You saying 'just improvise" fails at addressing all three of those goals.</blockquote>
