[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 5414257, member: 65637"] Your commentary continues to be irrelevant. The statement was the claim that Paizo puts passion and care into their product with the undercurrent that WotC did not. The rebuttal is that WotC - and in fact [I]everyone[/I] who works in the industry - puts equal passion and care. That some people dislike the product is utterly irrelevant to that point. Theoretical nothing. Summoned monsters are plenty powerful, you don't need to do anything offensive if you're invisible, and blur and mirror image are [B]better[/B] then plate mail. Plate mail doesn't get better as you level - if anything, AC scales horribly compared to attack bonuses. Mirror Image and Blur are static chances to miss - they're insanely better. I've never had a high level wizard watch spells bounce off, no. Why would I? Spell Resistance? That's hilariously easy to bypass, with many of the best spells simply not being resistible in the first place. The only one armcharing how another person plays is [B]you[/B] with your mountain of assumptions. I literally have no idea what you're referring to here. Here's the catch so many people miss: Wizards do not need to hope for the "best conditions." They [B]make[/B] the best conditions. Need to rest in the wilderness? There's a dozen or so spells that let you do so, no worry. Need a bodyguard? Summon one up! Summon monster starts only slightly weaker then a fighter, and as the levels go on get undeniably better. The 15 minute work day is one I've never seen [B]but[/B], and it's a big "but," it's because nobody wanted to do it. If they wanted to they could, easily. Again, there's a good dozen spells that let you sleep without worry anywhere you so desire. Oh, and lastly, lose the attitude. I'm not insulting you, I expect the same in return. What on earth are "Modern MMO sensibilities?" [/QUOTE]
