[QUOTE="DogBackward, post: 3477139, member: 50642"] You're playing a game where high level mages can stop time, call meteors to fall to the earth, kill with a word, and literally warp the fabric of space and time to their will. And you're worried about making it a super-powered system? It's fantasy, dude, it already is super-powered. It's just that only the magical types are super. And it's about options. If you don't like a more action-oriented style that allows pure melee guys to be as active in battle as mages, don't use it. Just because they put a new book out doesn't mean it's automatically part of the overall flavor. They put it out for those people who [i]want[/i] such things. If they didn't put out what their fans and customers asked for, they'd go out of business. And if you want to stick with the "roots of the game", then play 1e. Games evolve as time passes, they become different as the tastes of their players become different. If your opinion was the majority, they wouldn't be making these newer books and changes. I, for one, rejoice every time a new book is released, even if I don't personally want it. The more books that are out, the more [i]options that are available[/i], the better. We'll get more people involved who like that sort of thing, which means more support for WotC, which means more material, support for material, and all that jazz. And hopefully, if we get enough people interested in DnD, and they buy enough stuff, Wizards will finally have enough money to hire some proofreaders... [/QUOTE]
