[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8859666, member: 67338"] 3e streamlined things in many ways... but also broke more then a few bits. Several of those broken bits are still in 5e. 4e had very different flaws from 3e/5e, however going backwards from 3e to 5e is a big annoyance in my book. 4e fixed a lot of what was wrong with 3e, and 5e went back to it. Instead I wish they had fixed the 4e flaws. this is one of my biggest issues with 5e. You get WORSE at saving vs anything of your challenge as you level. I think the 'all the stuff goes up' is heavily misunderstood. I much prefer the idea that everyone gets better as you level. I think the legendary resistance is a step in the right direction... but it still needs some fine tuneing. I think the current "half damage" resist is again going in the right direction even if the exact nature of it needs some fine tuning. yeah I just want wizards (all casters really) to have to pick a lane you can't damage AND sod... I normally agree but I am willing to give the new write up a chance [/QUOTE]
