[QUOTE="GX.Sigma, post: 5960131, member: 6690511"] The basis of your argument seems to be that there are two kinds of D&D players: players who like 3e, and players who like 4e. Aside from being a false dichotomy (as evinced by the OSR and others), that's a very poisonous way of thinking. That sort of "editionism" is the real problem. It's a way of thinking that divides people into groups, and sets them as enemies against each other. While some gamers' tastes perfectly parallel their chosen edition, most don't:Instead of thinking in terms of editions, think in terms of playstyles. Edit:What he's saying is that being a better psion does not automatically make you better at forcing down doors. What he's definitely [B]not [/B]saying is that being a psion doesn't give you other ways to get past a door. (We already have [I]charm [/I]and [I]command[/I] in the playtest, and the adventure mentions [I]knock[/I].) He's specifically saying they're going away from the 4e thing of having DCs scale at the same rate as bonuses. Just like in 3e, a door will always be a door. I don't know how you're interpreting that as being more like 4e than 3e. [/QUOTE]
