[QUOTE="shoak1, post: 7158209, member: 54380"] Your argument would be spot on IF I was indicating something like "heavy armor kicks linguists butt." What I am saying is that WITHIN combat abilities, there are glaring imbalances. Those of us that DO focus on combat are MUCH more apt to catch those. Now there are some major and minor crossover feats that definitely require careful adjudication, but others are more clear. The nihilism comes in when you and others pull out the "based on individual playstyle" flag on virtually every debate. Perhaps individually you are very prudent and selective in your critique - but together you come off as a pack of wolves dismissive of any perceived balance issues. These forums are a very hostile environment when it comes to balance, and it is frustrating to have the pack voraciously descend on critics with these en mass "based on individual playstyle" arguments. To me it shows a lack of empathy and inclusiveness of other perspectives and serves to divide us. [/QUOTE]
