You're right.
Spam without meaning is clearly going to be the collapse of this pristine age of Spidweb's otherwise flourishing culture.

TM: The debate over whether hack & slash games such as Diablo can be specifically called RPGs is as old as the games themselves. I don't think there has ever been a satisfactory answer to that one.
"They aren't" is quite satisfactory.

I mean, I will extend the gray area to FF games, maybe. Real time action selection isn't horrible when it slows down/stops when scrolling through lists of spells/items- the way I see it, it's more a device of determining who goes and when. (Although I am roughly a billion times more partial to the combat system of Riviera.)

...

Oh, Riviera. ^_^

Not really.
Alorael was still talking to your post. Kel felt compelled to reduce class-struggles to an issue of ensuring some illusion that they don't exist.

Or even worse- that we should trust the free market to get rid of them.

Sandler was an SNL player, although I doubt that this will help in the connection.

...two items for the same ability?

Why not just make a sword, then give it a once-per-day usable ability, if that's all you want? You unequip the sword, and then use it from your inventory like a wand. Re-equip it to continue whacking people with it.

You'll find that arguing about marxism in relation to the bolsheviks will lead you astray- too many of your opponents will be republicans with vivid wet dreams of the cold war still in their minds, and the discussion will quickly become moot.

I would go a bit further and ask, "why not?"

And okay, maybe there are some reasons (albeit entirely ones which exist on the level of pretzel logic). I'm sure that economists can list 'em and be paid well for doing so.

But ultimately, any sort of argument that either argues for the existence of an upper-class or addresses its existence "pragmatically" purposefully ignores the notion inherent in the idea of an upper-class that it is somehow morally feasible to allow some people to have much larger sums of wealth than others. The idea that people can be "worth" more than one another is essentially a justification for everything wrong in the world save for dying.

It also grants Kissinger a surplus of gerontogasms, which is technically a violation of the Geneva Convention.

You could have it be something of a spell item akin to something from Canopy. You would give it an ability and a specific SP cost (if you want), and then you would check to see if the distance of the target from you is no more than 1 and the height is the same (or if the target is standing on a slope), then you would add the stats that determine accuracy (Dexterity, Melee, Bladesmaster) and damage (Strength, Melee, Bladesmaster, Anatomy if used on a humanoid). Then, you would determine the enemy's chance to dodge (7 + Dexterity + Gymnastics, plus a random number from 0 to 1 for each rank of defense the enemy has). You can assume that penalties from armor are negligible if you want. Then, take your character's determined accuracy and subtract the enemy's chance to dodge. If the number remaining is 20 or more, set it to 19. This is your accuracy. Then, get a random number from 1 to 20. If your accuracy is greater than or equal to the random number, you hit. Use strength to determine damage however you want, and then place an explosion before the PC's stance returns to normal and do some hefty magic damage. (I would make this too determined by strength, but you don't have to.) Take away the SP and 4 AP (since this is a regular attack).

And that's it- you're done.
