[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8574359, member: 6877472"] Oh no, I'm not fighting an edition war. The idea is silly. Every edition has it's merits and flaws! I guess I come off that way because I was actively playing and enjoying the games they decided to pull. And if it works out for them, I guess, but some of their decisions I look at and scratch my head. But yeah, I got off topic again. A terrible habit. I think we can say that "by the books, Animate Dead is evil because it creates evil undead. If you feel this approach is more nuanced, you can change it in your game, but this the decision WotC made about it." EDIT: Snarf, I like that summary of 4e, it reminds me of the failed launch of the Sega Dreamcast. And yeah, it's easy to forget that WotC is run by suits who think D&D is like any other toy or game, and have never even looked at a d20 sideways. I kind of miss the old days, when they were churning out really interesting content like The Primal Order. [/QUOTE]
