[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4225389, member: 23977"] I've said in other threads that I completely and utterly dissagree with this line of thinking. I personally feel that the game is FINALLY starting to allow you to play out those "classic fantasy elements." It's all in how you visualize your game in my opinion. Take for example the warlord power: Iron Dragon Charge Warlord Attack 9 Like a rampaging iron dragon, you hurl yourself at your adversary, landing a terrific blow that inspires your allies to charge as well. Daily Martial, Weapon Standard Action Melee weapon Target: One creature Attack: Strength vs. AC Special: You must charge as part of this attack. Hit: 3[W] + Strength modifier damage. Effect: Until the end of the encounter, as an immediate reaction, an ally of your choice within 5 squares of you can charge a target that you charge. Sure... you could say that like a super hero yur warlord knows it has this ability... It knows the name, and maybe it cries out "Iron Dragon Charge!" every time... Or, like me, you could say the Warlord has no idea he actually has the ability (other then knowing he has a good ability to inspire people... like a real life leader) he just does it... Everyone likes to mention LOTR at some point.. so I will too... Like Aaragorn... He yells out "For Gondor!!!!" people know him.. he's awesome, and kills orcs like nuttin... So they're inspired... "Hell yeah for Gondor!" They all charge out of the hall... Out of the game, Aragorn's player roleplays his character "For Gondor!!!" then turns to his dm, and says "Iron Dragon Charge, (rolls a die) 16... does that hit?" [/QUOTE]
