[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6505286, member: 67338"] Yes... that is the crux of our disagreement, and I have repatly said the roles are based on 30 years of play... this is why we have to hide what we get into... wait when?!?!? all you have done is say your opinion how do you say anything was factually anything? they were termed in 200X (the book came out in 2008 but I'm sure it was worked on before) but it was based on 3e heavly and 3e was based on 2e and all the way back... the terms can change... heck you could make up words.. WJ FIH IHD means healing and buffing... that doesn't mean that I just invented the role of WJ FIH IHD I just gave it a dumb name (although to be fair I was hitting random keys... you would think the creaters would come up with better then leader) wait... but that cuts both ways... because you are only saying YOUR particular opinion... why... why should I be quite when someone asks "What happened to the roles?" why is my insight lesser then yours? I have supported my belief for almost 20 page now with 30 years worth of games... the fact that someone hated the 4e roles (they don't they hate some made up thing that isn't the 4e roles because as I said they were just names given to modes of play) why is there hatred more imporntant then me answering the question asked?
