Well I'm certainly not surprised. From ways back when they were talking about the 4e fighter and how they had different maneuvers for different kinds of weapons, it was pretty clear that 4e was going to be at least as complex as 3e in the options department. All the talk of "simplifying" was in regards to the DM's role, not the player's.Cthulhudrew said:So nobody else is at all dismayed by the note that the new rules/customization options were so daunting that even veteran players needed some build notes to help them through the creation process?
