[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5486530, member: 82106"] I think it depends a lot on what sort of player you are. People that have been playing 4e for a good while and for whom it is their primary system and want to spend a decent amount of time playing, studying the rules, and going over options will do OK. My experience is that the player who is just playing and who's interest in the game is pretty much limited to when they're at the table will have a hard time. 4e isn't really a very casual system. That pretty well describes the players in my game. Currently 2 of them are fairly casual players. One has played other RPGs and is pretty into it. He's got a pretty good grasp of his character, the rules, and a decent idea of available options. The second one is sharp but hasn't played other RPGs and hasn't spent a lot of time figuring out her character. Both of my other two players are pretty hard core 3.5 DMs, they play and they understand the game, but they aren't super clear on a lot of the details. Both of them have some trouble grappling with all the options they have. I'd consider my group pretty average. They CAN handle it, but they do struggle sometimes. Were I starting this campaign today I'd probably have a couple of them run Essentials characters and I suspect they'd probably be perfectly happy with that. [/QUOTE]
