Agreed. Closer combat is preferable in my opinion as well.

Eww. Okay, I'm adding that to the list of things I'm houseruling if I ever run 4e.

It's funny, but I think the moment I started to worry about 4e was when I first got a look at some of the artwork and design ideas and thought, "This edition looks ugly". And years ago, the moment I started to get intrigued by 3e was when I looked at the PHB and thought, "Wow, this is pretty"...

His opinion is not universal. I have a completely metric background and I strongly dislike the term. My objections to it are two-fold. 1. The term is pure crunch and can not be used for fluff, making a disconnect between the two that is entirely unnecessary. 2. It is in fact more difficult to...

and another +1. (do these modifiers stack?) I was really excited about 4E from the initial press, but the more I read anything that's actually from it the less impressed I am. Whereas going from 2e, 3e was the opposite, I got more excited the more I read. It's shocking me a bit, I love Bo9S...
