[QUOTE="Shazman, post: 4527944, member: 13509"] Now, this I can agree with. I've played 2nd edition, 3.0, 3.5, and 4th edition. I played 1e a few times, but I don't remember much about it. I do know that 4e absolutely doesn't play at all like 2nd edition, 3.0, or 3.5. I find it very difficult to believe that it plays at all like 1e either. It shares most in common with 3.0/3.5 (feats, d20 mechanic, skills, etc.) and it still has a completely different feel. I don't see how monsters lasting a few round longer (more like 8-10 rounds longer in 4E) or resting in between fights (We did that in 3.0/3.5 too. That's where the CLW wands got a lot of use.) or counting in "inches" makes 4E feel like 1E. I know this is really subjective, but I begin to wonder if people aren't seeing what they want to see regarding the similarities between these two vastly different systems. [/QUOTE]
