But I suspect the number of people with the mini is significantly larger than those who will find the size change something so horrendous it prevents their use of Tiamat.   Dude, someone being forced to use a wheelchair has an immense and profound effect upon their entire life. You do NOT get to remotely compare this situation to that - it is not just wrong, it is downright offensive. Millions of people play this game. Every single one of them has their own preferences and ideas about how to play. I suspect there is not a single person who will find the game 100% perfect for them 100% of the time.  So yes, sometimes you need to change one word. You can't claim this problem "shouldn't really exist in the first place", because there will always be problems. There will always be something that works great for others, but that you personally need to adjust to fit your own style, your own preferences. That isn't a flaw in the game, and claiming that this is some sort of immense and tedious task - over something that is the easiest freaking thing in the world to change - is absurd. You are complaining for the sake of complaining.  Look, honestly, I have no real problems with you preferring Tiamat was larger. But your claim that being able to house rule something - especially someting as minute as this - has no actual bearing on the discussion... well, I just don't get it.  Earlier in the thread, you said you would prefer a fight with Tiamat to be something else entirely - a massive scene that isn't a simple fight, but instead some sort of complex challenge with Tiamat as a set-piece more than a single figure. I think that is a plenty cool idea - but I wouldn't want it as the default.  By your logic, since they didn't specifically write Tiamat like that, to cater to your own personal preference, it is fundamentally flawed and (apparently) worthy of mockery. Except countless other people would find that design completely useless. Given the cost to benefit ratio, it is much better to have something usable by a larger audience, and let the few who need such a highly specialized fight instead (gasp!) design it themselves. (Or make a house rule, or change a single word, or do whatever else needs doing.)  Feel free to dislike the design choice they made. But you can't claim that the game is failing unless it is somehow so absolutely perfect as to appeal to 100% of all gamers - because, gamers being gamers, that is an absolutely impossible task.</blockquote>
