[QUOTE="Fishbone, post: 5691754, member: 40849"] Refute trivially? It doesn't aesthetically or mechanically remain similar to more than 10 years of the past Dungeons and Dragons experience. Tactical combat is fine, moving around on a hex map like a hockey puck is not. Healing surges are fine, a party spending 60 of them a day is not. Do you really think that somebody using a magic item to heal is less believable or true to "source material" than having 15 "Oh look, I gained a significant portion of my starting health back!" I don't ever recall reading the Fadhrd and the Gray Mouser giving rousing speeches 10 times a day which magically repairs bites and claw attacks. I wasn't aware that the damage was raised. I am aware that there are about 40 WOTC products and every last one of them required errata out the ying yang. Do it right the first time. Other good things about it: LA is gone. Racial HD are gone. Playable races for things like Pixie and Bugbear and the like are here and it is great. The balance issues of the previous thing is cleared up. Full spellcasting is not insane anymore. The Fighter/Wizard chasm of power between the two has been rectified for the most part. It isn't without its good things, it does plenty of things right, it just on the whole does things more wrong than right. [/QUOTE]
