[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8116525, member: 7015698"] I'm sure people don't put as much value on it as you think, it's just that it's a good format for [I]discussions on the internet[/I] where we don't know how the others play the game. We gotta have something in common to talk about it. Yeah but the 5e Ranger impacts Exploration by... getting rid of it. "We're trying to reach X" "Okay, it'll take 5 days in the wilderness and you won't get lost because Jack's Ranger is there. And [I]rolls a few die[/I] no one attacks you during the night. You're there!" I think your conflating 'having fun with a class' and the idea that a class is good or not. You can totally have fun with anything in this game. I'm sure you can ask around and you'll find people willing to regal you with the tales of how much fun they had roleplaying a commoner, or a beggar, or how their 3.X monk was the totally the best character in their game...it doesn't make those classes good at mechanical stuff, AKA the stuff we can discuss and compare while being online and away from tables. Don't forget we're on this forum for FUN and that, for a lot of people here, talking 'white room' stuff is FUN. Does it cover every possible situations that every possible character can be in? No! But it's enough to fuel discussion and keep people engaged with the hobby when not playing. [/QUOTE]
