That said, there are certainly things they added that I dislike. And the few things that I relate to 4e (opinions on this I’m sure vary) are not all in the dislike category.Bloodied and more interesting monster abilities seem influenced by 4e, and I like both of those.I don't like the removal of the explanation of where monster Armor Class comes from, and I don't like the Gear line that suggests you can only loot what is listed there, despite creatures clearly using weapons that are not listed. But I don't believe that came from 4e.Gamist handling of weapons that don't worry about how you carry them, how you switch them out so fast, and how you load a crossbow (Crossbow Expert) or pistol (Pirates with semi-automatic flintlocks with infinite clips) without hands I intensely dislike, and I don't think that has anything to do with 4e. This seems more like it came straight from video games.Graze is blatantly "Damage on a Miss", which I associate with 4e (fair or not), and I don't like it at all. I house rule that any weapon with Graze gets the Push mastery instead.</blockquote>
