[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6054146, member: 6689464"] Again you are still thinking on only wizards. IT IS OK IF WIZARDS HAVE NO DEFAULT AND ARE FORCED TO GO THROUGH A COMPLEX PROCESS TO CAST IF THAT MAKES MOST PEOPLE HAPPY, THEY ARE COMPLEX TO PLAY ANYWAY. What I don't agree is to have that same needless complexity shoved into sorcerer and warlock players. Yes the plug a casting system may be ok for wizard players and it might be the best way to satisfy the most people possible, but depriving warlocks and sorcerers of a simple default will then make all sorcerer and warlock players unhappy. Wotc will gain nothing out of pleasing as many wizard players as possible if they manage to piss off the overwhelming majority of warlock and sorcerer players. The way of caasting isn't that big of an issue for sorcerer and warlock players, to us there are more important things like which armor and weapons will be available, which spells/Invocations we'll be allowed to have (let's face it for a wizard spells are like a pair of socks they change everyday, but which spells and invocations respectively are a very important facet of a sorcerer and a warlock's playstyle, interest and even a reflection of the character's personality) and the available choices for bloodlines/pacts, it is more important to have a flavor neutral option for bloodlines and pacts than a mechanic neutral option for spellcasting. In short words: No default may be the best compromise for wizard players, but will disapoint and scare off warlock and sorcerer players. Let wizards complicate themselves to death if they wish, but leave simple casters have a simple default. [/QUOTE]
