[QUOTE="Isaac Chalk, post: 6053873, member: 96952"] [b]Fie Upon "You Suck Now But He Sucks Later"[/b] I'm thankful* that 4th Edition is of the opinion that instead of having wizards sucking at first level countered by fighters sucking at high level, that [i]maybe wizards and fighters should be fun regardless of level,[/i] with rewarding tactical options that contribute to the party without overpowering it. No more being told you have to play the "beginner" class just because you want to fight face-to-face with no magical powers. Thank God we don't have to relive the nerd/jock idiocy from high school again. Not every minute of a session in 4th Edition is guaranteed to be enjoyable. What it is, instead, is guaranteed to be [i]potentially[/i] enjoyable. If you had a bad session, it was because you had a bad session, not because the game's yet to reach the level wizards are fun or because it outgrew your fighter and your PC sucks now. The problems are situational instead of baked into the level system, and far easier to solve when they appear. The haters call 4E "the tyranny of fun."
