[QUOTE="Testament, post: 1698143, member: 21833"] I voted 'good', and I'll explain why, using wingsandsword's post as a structure, as well as a way to respond to his comments. The class tweaks were urgently needed, Bards were beyond useless, Monks were a headache, and well, Ranger was a one level class. The skills shifts were appropriate, as were the spell tweaks. I really can't see what your complaint was on Polymorph Other, its just a name, and what else was it used for? And there's no difference between alchemical and normal silver as far as DR goes, Alchemical Silver is in there as an excuse for people to get existing weapons silvered. And as for PokeMounts (Love that name, hadn't heard it 'till today), just have the Paladin set what it is when the get access. The weapon size rules have bugs, but it means that Halflings can use a quaterstaff if they want, something that always seemed odd to me. I'm just annoyed that there's no percentage set in the DMG for weapon sizes in loot. No argument here. Although I love the DR changes (hallelujah, some flavour!), I don't like the size changes (why does a horse have to squeeze down a corridor? And what about Nagas or other snakish critters?). Some of the changes are very subtle, I'm still getting caught out sometimes (frickin' rules lawyer in my group!) I think it'll be a while before 4E, I'm tipping 2007 at the earliest. This close to 3.5, it'll be an obvious cash grab. 3.5 was an update, altough somewhat large. There's no way in hell we'll fall for them calling another edition so soon another 'update' I can't comment on the first part of this, having never played 2E, but I will agree with you to some extent on the rest. There were some changes (like sizing) that seemed really arbitrary. And even though I collect the minis, the combat section read way too much like a miniatures game ruleset, and the references to squares was frustrating. At least they included a mat with the DMG though. WHEW! That's enough for now. [/QUOTE]
