[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9324048, member: 6877472"] Some valid reasons not to like 4e D&D: Where's my level drain? Why isn't my Wizard all-powerful? What do you mean all the good spells take an hour to cast and cost money and anyone can get a Ritual book with a feat? Bad enough I'd have to share this feature with Bards and Clerics. What do you mean my Cleric has to heal and buff others? What do you mean Fighters aren't damage machines? Protect my allies? They should stick behind me and use ranged weapons. At-Will Powers for squishies? They should be throwing darts! What do you mean I can only use Fireball once a day? What do you mean I can only use that awesome sword strike once every 5 minutes? Everyone can take an action to heal themselves? What is this nonsense? You can heal yourself after 5 minutes? Why does my 1st level character feel like a 5th level character? Where's my zero to hero? Prestige classes are built into the game? Rogues are damage dealers? Where's my Ranger's pet and spells? Paladins aren't Lawful Good? They can't instantly lose their powers at the drop of a hat? What is this? Why are dragon men and demon people in my player's handbook? I can't run my old game with these rules! They ruined (insert setting of choice). Where's my extra attacks? What's this "2 [W] garbage?" Magic items are expected? Nobody should be entitled to magic items! Magic items are lame now. So I have to track ammo, but he can just fire magic all day? So every class can use different stats to hit and damage? And you can wear plate with Strength 10? What's the point of ability scores? Wait, you [B]start[/B] with plate? Where's my glaive-guisarme? Where's my spiked chain? Where's my skills? I can't have a Profession? I have to use a battle map? Why is everything in squares? We use the Imperial system in my country! Why is everything in 5' squares? We use the metric system in my country! Fireballs are [B]not cubes[/B]! [/QUOTE]
