[QUOTE="Andor, post: 4352057, member: 1879"] This. The design of 4e, with it's utterly intrusive meta-game elements like milestones and magic rings that don't work properly until you've beaten someone up, is sufficiently alien to my gaming style that I feel uncomfortable pretending that I understand what the intent was. Further the rules and examples are so poorly written that I have seen threads where two people looking at the same piece of text argue for pages that it can only be interpreted to mean two completely opposite things. And in some of those cases the general concensus seems to be forming around concepts that aren't even in the books. The RAW are unclear, and 4e is so obviously the work of a committee that I have no clue what the RAI are, or even it there was a single 'intent' behind it. :( Why is WotC [i]not[/i] the Blizzard of RPG publishers?
