[QUOTE="C4, post: 5572755, member: 93857"] I think half "the big deal" isn't the problem itself -- it's that WotC has the ample means to effect a free and honest fix. But instead of making everyone happy, they give us a half-hearted fix that we have to pay for. In more than one way. As it happens, I got tired of waiting for WotC to fix the math hole and the game's few other glaring glitches. [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/290015-c4-best-edition-never-published.html"]So I rewrote the rules[/URL] for my group and I. Now I play the D&D I want to play. I suggest taking any online build with a grain of salt. Some players do take only feats like toughness and weapon/implement focus, because they're seen as too good to pass up or simply because they require no bookkeeping. But many players do in fact take those "+2 to attacks when you get your groove on" feats, and the skill trainings and whatnot. The rogue in my group actually has a skill [I]focus[/I] in bluff! :) And then there are players who refuse to pay their feat taxes for various reasons, and end up ticking off the other players because half the party is KOed and they just missed the dragon [I]again[/I].
