[QUOTE="JVisgaitis, post: 3731531, member: 4177"] I hate game balance? How you can possibly think I said anything remotely close to that in my post is insane. What's your definition of game balance? How do you figure that out? f you take the current spell list and spread it out over 30 levels does that "magically" make spells slow gameplay? I don't want an arbitrary guideline. If I want to Polymorph I should be able to Polymorph into a monster equal to my level. If you like trying to figure out something that's vague, have at it. I don't want band aids that come in future products. I want the core system to handle all of that. Sure, that's the mark of a good DM. I don't have problems in my game and I don't let anything be broken. The fact that I have to remove something from the system to make it work is a bother. Maybe you like wasting Feats on Craft Arms and Armor and enjoy wasting experience points so you can create a +1 sword. I don't. That's something my character should be able to do because that's what he does. I shouldn't be [I]penalized[/I] for being a Wizard. Majority of them I do. Sometimes I get in a quick game and roll something up quick or sometimes I decide to change my mind. You seem to like rigidity and seem to like being a rat in a maze and punished for not finding the cheese. I want to be presented with options and if I decide to take my character in a new direction I can do so without the need to redo the whole thing. There's this cool thing called choice. If this year's PHB focuses on Psionics and Psionic characters, I'm not obligated to buy it if I don't like psionics. Same goes for any other book they put out. My entire post is about choice. The ability to be presented with a lot of options for my characters, for my game, and for combat and everything else. If I choose not to use them? Fine. My choice, not the guys sitting in Renton.
