Unfortunately, I'm not surprised at you. Your basic premise of a spellbane 'revision' that you feel will make the world a better place is based on a poorly formed opinion. As I have stated here several times, you are either concealing the balancing factor of the changes, or you can't be bothered to find them out. > Bad form, Matt. > > Subtitle of this post is: How posting should work - one man's dream. > > Well, you obviously haven't bothered to find out the MAJOR part of the spellbane 'problem' as you see it. That, or you do know, and find it too convenient to actually fill anyone else in. > > I have to admit, it sure sounds impressive when you come to the forum shouting 'Ragers deflect everything! Overpowered! Overpowered!' > > Too bad that it isn't true. Or, at least, you leave out the balancing aspect of it.
> I outlined a system of spellbane working, a logic behind it, and not anywhere in the post you replied to did I whine, say anything was overpowered, underpowered, etc. In fact, I suggested that many area spells should be spellbaned. Yet instead of commenting on what I wrote, saying why it is good, bad or indifferent, you attack me personally.
