[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4970868, member: 11821"] Yes, please! Hmm... Both? I think that, as the design team gets more proficient, they are going to have fewer major missteps. You can already see a narrowing of focus in Arcane and Divine power - whereas in the PHB1 and in Martial Power, most of the feats applied to anything you did; in AP and DP, the feats are limited to, say, your Wizard powers. Or your Invoker powers. So I think they've better learned to firewall options. Whether or not that's good, I have no idea. I also see a general trend towards less outlandish stuff. Note that most of the stuff I listed was all released within the first few months of 4e, and was probably in production before or shortly after release. With that said, option creep is inevitable in any continually-supported game line. It was a huge issue in 3.5 by the middle of its production run, and I'm sure it will be an issue with 4e as well. Personally, I'm thrilled that my list only needed to be as long as it is. I call that a net win for WotC. -O [/QUOTE]
