Ok so we have noticed that many FAQs are not actually "frequently asked questions" but are actual rebalance on features etc, example of this is Crane wing, this feat has been altered 3 time already, this is not actual "rules clearing" its obviously intended to rebalance(cough nerf/buff) a feat. The same happens with many features, we should have a "rebalance" option or something like that. Some not even qualify as errata per se because they are actual rules changes.

i know its semantics and may sound silly but it looks like not everybody like the idea that "nerfs/buffs" should go on the same category as FAQs


I second this request.


Wouldnt it be much the same if the question in the FAQ was re-worded to ask if something is working as intended?

Its really just adding a "Was this intended when the thing was done" to the end of a FAQ and an answer that includes "No, that was not intended and here is how we will fix it."

I think some of the FAQs already include similar wording...

is not exactly the same, crane wing v1.0 is extremely different to crane wing 2.0. Devs have stated they thought the feat was too powerful, then we got crane wing 3.0 which was an attempt to make the feat useful again(but not many liked it anyway) then we have 4.0 and again devs said they "nerfed crane wing too hard", so thats why are getting a new version

It was working as intended, the problem is that the feat is too powerful or too weak. This is the case of other rulings, they are not rules clarifications, they are actual nerf/buffs

bump


I wholly support this.

I also think that there should be a "balance" flag a la the FAQ flag where we can request rules changes.

Think of the FAQ flag more as a "this post needs a designer's attention" flag. Dividing it up would actually be counterproductive as far as determining what needs attention, and the designers will be able to see what the type of change desired is when they look at the post anyway.
