I didn’t really use it but I think it’s a good thing if it’s been toned down so it prevents ridiculous scenarios
Help me understand please ...
Why do you mind it, since as you say you didnt use it? O_o
Why are you concerned about someone else's gameplay is by your standard "ridiculous" ? O_o
Because it's a potential exploit and a vulnerability in the rule system? When you have in the back of your mind the knowldge that in any moment you could come on top of any tough situation leveraging a dirty trick, its existence is annoying even with you don't use it.
Imagine to have in your arsenal a skill that once per turn is a guaranteed kill of any enemy, without rolling or anything, and the designer tells you "Well, it's super-convenient and basically a cheat and makes any other skill in the game pointless... But if you don't like it, just don't use it!".
Nah, fuck you, wannabe designer. Learn to do your job as a proper one and why that argument doesn't fly.
