[QUOTE="DangerAbe, post: 5773266, member: 62055"] Positive. I played 4E and was very excited when it came out but as I played it I learned to dislike it and then hate it. Fights took too long, classes seemed identical, and every book seemed rushed to market in terms of layout and design (especially compared to the beautiful look and design of Pathfinder). I'm hoping for five things from 5E: 1. Don't add another NEW unrealistic -subsystem. Level, HP, and Armor Class are all unrealistic but I'm fine with them because they've always been there and a million different justifications have been devised concerning their use. I hated "Healing Surges". Old unrealistic things are fine because they are already accepted. Please, WotC, don't add another unrealistic thing to the game. 2. Return to iconic D&D Spells and a combined Spell List with different parts shared by all classes. It's strange when all the iconic D&D spells are now in Pathfinder and not D&D. 3. Create a universal Martial Power List similar to older edition spell lists. Let different martial classes pick and choose different powers like the old Bard/Cleric/Wizard spell list worked. Make them iconic. 4. Have all the core classes and races in the core book! 4E's initial class and race list sucked. WotC, hive us more from the get-go or you'll ruin your first impression. 5. Work out HP and AC so that every fight doesn't take 3 hours! [/QUOTE]
