[QUOTE="Feeroper, post: 5926164, member: 83317"] Interstingly enough, in your post you did give some feedback despite your claim of not knowing how to. I appreciate that you are not a fan of the way they are going about this playtest, but in case you werent aware (to clarify, Im not trying to sound like a dick, it is just an actual clarification in case you didnt know), WotC is planning on opening it up more, but they are presently trying to focus on the core rules of play to ensure that the foundation is stable. It is actually a really good idea in my opinion, this playtest is going to be several times larger than the PF one due to the name recognition, so its a good idea to keep it focussed. Also, the PF playtest was just based on an existing rulset that was being tweaked, not a brand new system like this. What WotC are attempting is a rather hefty endeavor and requitres care. Now as to the OP - I am really happy with the rules and am surprised just how much they were able to hit on prior editions and not feel overwhelmingly in favour of one over the other. Certainly there is tweaking that will be needed, but I think what they have oresented here is a great foundation to work from. I say that as both a fan of 4e and PF. Ive been very pleasently surprised by the all around positive reaction this playtest has recieved thus far (technical issues aside). I was expecting alot more anger and edition warring, but it seems to be being recieved rathewr well on alot of fronts here. I think the D&D Next team could potentially have a real winner here if they tread carefully. [/QUOTE]
