However, there are also correspondence they receive that says things such as, "such-and-such a feat is not balanced well, and here are the numbers to prove it." They have said in the past that they take their customer responses seriously - and if there are customers who can explain their reasoning in well-written formats, with factual or numerical evidence to back it up, then it is far more likely that they will listen to such criticism.Just look at our very own rules forum - where WotC R & D personnel have been known to frequent. We have many thoughtful and expressive posters there who go into reams of numerical proof when debating a potential rules problem. Most of the changes we see have appeared there at one time or another! (Cases in point that I can directly recall from the past three years include reduction of crit ranges, the problems of haste and harm, excessively high spell DC's for spellcasters, damage resistance issues, intimidation skill for fighters, and the need for empowering of bards and rangers.)There have been many more I'm sure I'm forgetting, but the number of vocal posters I hear who say, "this is nothing more than Andy Collins' house rules" seem to forget or ignore that these issues have been discussed all over rpg.net, ENWorld, the Wizards Forums, 3rdedition.org, and numerous others.</blockquote>
