[QUOTE="hero4hire, post: 3705081, member: 20711"] I was halfway through typing up a point by point response but I scrapped it. I don't really want to debate about design philosophy or what is or os not point crunching. Everyone has different opinions. And they are [I]opinions[/I] not right or wrong. Perhaps I am old and set in my ways, but I like characters that are built similiar to the published material. Not exact builds mind you! Or even similiar concepts but *how* they are built. I looked over my M&M books. I found one superpowered character (a paraplegic) who had a +0 base attack. He was a PL 5 or 6. For PL 10 characters the lowest I found was for an Illusionist who has a +3 base attack. About 90% (or more) o fthe builds I found actually maxed out thier base attack. Likewise I didn't find a lot of (any) uber-efficient builds (or what I call point crunching) Basically that is what I like to see in my game for builds, at least philosophy wise. As for my presentation being offensive, I apologize if it was construde that way. That was not the intent. Basically what I was saying is that if we were friends around a table I would just say "no" to something I didnt want in my game and in a way that I am comfortable doing with my friends. Its not like I lurk around grassy knolls, crumpling up paper and throwing it strangers or anything (anymore anyway!) I had stated some things that I would've liked "fixed" for Fusion (including that lil old Pet-Peeve of mine). Some were, some were not, others were found, and that was me in a "tongue and cheek" way saying "no'". I do appreciate everyone working with me or at the very least trying to, :) and I [B]really [/B] dont like being a pain in the @$$. I have stated what points I dont like (and the reasoning) and what I wont allow so I won't be belaboring or debating them further. I look forward to reaching a build both Thevshi and I will be happy with. [/QUOTE]
