to end 3.5 and 4.0s abilitys have flaws everything has flaws because we are all human and we all make mistakes its the people who blame others and spit in the face of the creator who try to make the game fun for everyone who get screamed at for what they do when they them selfs want to please everyone wizards of the coast works hard to provide use with a good game to play with friends and the ones of us who curse and spit at the creater are mad because it was not what they wanted and even as dnd nexted is coming out some still curse at the creators for a crappy game when the have not seen it through there eyes the people who dont like this feel wronged and wan things to back to the way they were but like everything in the worked things will change and evole and grow and the old ways must be listen two but also looked at in a neutral form such as this maybe not all people dont want to kill a kolbold with one blast maybe they want a struggle or challange, to end this a neutral party must look to 3.5 and 4.0 and say ok this seems wrong but right here there is a medain there cant always be my way and your way and if there is thats ok to have but you must be open minded and try a taste of the other persons Ideals and ways so if you like this respond if you dont respond and share your view if there was one you felt that was not shared
