[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 5986759, member: 6698278"] You do. But you seem genuine and not snarking so I'll try to explain. You can try anything in any game of D&D and the DM can say whether it works or not. These abilities though are there to illustrate when it is truly effective. Some choices in the game may have been bad. No question. But the entire game is not predicated upon dissociative mechanics. When you think about multiple daily powers that disappear one at a time, there is no consistent reason for their existence. A trip mechanic is just me trying to get good at tripping. (By the way I never was really all that fond of trip mechanics and would have left that entirely in the improve realm but that is just me). [MENTION=2486]Al[/MENTION]l People keep trying to prove that we are arbitrary in rejecting 4e. I guarantee you I could blind test tons of people who have issues with dissociative mechanics and they'd score nearly identically on the tests even if all the questions had nothing to do with 4e. So denying that we have a legitimate issue FOR US is insulting. It's like arguing that we should like strawberry ice cream when we do not like it and prefer chocolate. Arguing that strawberry ice cream tastes just like chocolate though is insulting. And I have no issue with others enjoying strawberry nor do I belittle their preferences. I just do not like those things. [/QUOTE]
