[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 5988569, member: 6668292"] Wizards are fun (I like skilled mundane characters more, but I can have a lot of fun with spellcasters). The Summoner might get out of hand, yes, without limitations. I found this out quickly while designing my RPG. You do need to be careful there. I understand that. I read the long (all things considered, on these boards) "Combat as War vs. Combat as Sport" original post a bit back with absolutely no problem. There's a difference in writing style that just makes it so that certain posters are less likely to receive my full attention on these boards. You're not alone in that count, though. I have the urge to skip/skim your posts, pemerton's, Crazy Jerome's, and, to a lesser degree, Balesir, for example (though I tend to read pemerton's until he starts using the "indent" feature and quoting people, where I then skip/skim). Other posters, I have no problem reading (Neonchameleon or Hussar, for example). I guess I feel prone to reading posts from who I'd consider to be thoughtful posters who shy away from an academic writing style. That's not to say that the posts are poorly written; it's just that they're very easy to read while still having a meaningful conversation. Not a whole lot you can do about your writing style, so, if nothing else, thanks for the tl;dr. I did read the opening, skimmed the grades/summation of each class, and then read the ending. Totally agreed (about my resolutions being good some of the time, and about what you'd like to see). I do hope that they tone down the spellcasters from some things they could accomplish in past editions. As always, play what you like :) [/QUOTE]
