[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 503923, member: 530"] Exactly! That's what I was getting at. My DM is good at winging it, so we just rely on him for flanking, AOO, tumbling, etc. As long as there are no rules lawyers it all works out just fine. It's all a matter of preference though. Personally I like visualizing things my own way in my mind and cheesed little figures interferes with that a little (cool as the paint job may be, it will never look anywhere nearly as good as what I see in my head). I can see why some people like miniatures. I'm just a bit concerned to see the game move even more in that direction, as I consider it somewhat overly weighted in that direction already. Miniatures are too expensive and time consuming for me as well. Even with counters, you can't get everything you need so you end up with the ultra frightening amorphous play-doh shape of doom, the "let's just pretend this goblin is a fire elemental" of destruction, the "hey this matchbox car is the same dimension as a young dragon" of fiery perdition, and the "I drew this ugly scribble myself" of annihilation. Standard disclaimer, only personal preference, etc. etc. etc. [/QUOTE]
