[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 4524871, member: 32740"] Meh. I don't mind psionics and in some ways I LIKE the flavor it gives to a campaign, but I really haven't much cared for any implementation of it in any edition. Never even read it so, don't know and more importantly - don't CARE. No. No. Very much RAW. Houserules are fairly few and superficial. These are not mutually exclusive concepts. A certain amount of "optimization" is sensible and to be expected. That said, however, we do NOT make any kind of science out of it and the idea of "builds" rather than just "characters" is quite different from our style. In that sense it makes us fairly casual. Meh. Read it and liked some parts and cared nothing for other parts. Have not run it or played in it as a setting and won't. It serves largely as a mine for ideas. 3.5 was the last edition I played. I have not yet played 4E but would like to give it a try - as a PLAYER, not as DM (as DM I just do not grok it in the least.) The next game I run will be 1E-based but given the type and number of houserules that would be applied will look a fair amount like 2E. [/QUOTE]
