You know, you really oughtn't to make assumptions as to what I have, or have not, done. Based on that last post, you are operating under the assumption that I have not made any attempt at communicating Alter Aeon's issues to Dentin. Guess what, I have, on numerous occasions. Do you know what happened? Do you know what I was told? To put it politely, I was told where to get off, and in most instances, in very direct language. That was if they were feeling polite, in many other instances, I was called a troll and much worse. So I think you need to get off your high horse and stop making assumptions.
As for my years of experience as a gamer, it is what makes me right. I have seen multiple game systems and see what works (and sometimes, what does not). There is a reason things are done a certain way and not simply because it has always been done in that manner. As an aside, I had a look at the latest edition of the Dungeons and Dragons rules and at the Knock spell. Guess what? it works as it has ever done.
