[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 9571855, member: 7737"] There are some players who really, really enjoy "chaos magic" (chaos... fighter-ing?) and some who really, really hate it. So the "roll a die, see what happens!" crowd probably (?) loved the 13th Age powers like that. There's also something to be said regarding the [B]quality [/B]of the chaos. If the power is fire damage on even and cold damage on odd, and either way the target is dazed -- MOST of the time that's a good power, regardless. (Sure, it's not as good when you keep randomly rolling even/fire vs. fire-resistant enemies, but at least you still dazed them.) But if the power is "push 1 and slowed on even" and "prone and dazed on odd", now the power is vastly qualitatively different and in 90% of cases you are really, really hoping you roll odd otherwise this power does extremely weak control.
