Scott,I do appreciate your position, but I'd like to point one thing out (tongue in cheek if you will).
In my post I explicitly called out the fact that one of the most annoying traits of people who take the RAW position is that they don't tend to engage with the substance of arguments around any particular balance point.
To that end, I outlined an example and gave specific detail (with cases) of why I thought it was unbalanced...
... and you ignored it. Sailed right over the specific example, without engaging the specific argument in any way. Can you see how that can be infuriating?
You're a long time player and a rules authority on this forum, and so I'd actually have a lot of interest in discussing cases like the one I outlined above on their merits. Would you be willing to expound on why you don't think cases like what I described make life difficult? My intention in modifying the way the SO is chosen is to reduce the variance between someone with a trivial PO who has 5-7 turns to get his unknown SO, to someone with a much harder PO who has to accomplish an unknown SO in just 2-3 turns, if that.
