D&D 4E Review: Worth playing, focused on combat, not enough role-play, DMG a waist of time, adventures drag out because the combat takes so long, overall a good game.

4E Homebrew: Players choose a build from two classes. This includes the class features. Then player chooses powers from any class that do not have restrictions they can't meet. Most all class restrictions are removed from feats. (They are too specialized now.) Set of skills is provided that include non combat activities. (craft, perform, etc.) Players are allowed training in one of these skills as part of their background package.


1) Never play any rule set right out of the box. It always needs tweaking.
2) Play to have fun. When it's not fun, why play.
