[QUOTE="Traveon Wyvernspur, post: 5692406, member: 73201"] I'm actually a fan of all editions of D&D, so to answer your question. I feel that I'd just rehash what a lot of the others have already said and said very well I might add. From my personal experience/opinions with 4E: [LIST] [*]The combats take longer unless you house rule some stuff (i.e. 1/2 the NPC hit points and 50% more damage output), there are a lot more conditions to keep track of as well that add up the time that a round takes, especially at higher levels (especially epic tier). [*]It is more streamlined from the DM's perspective with easier to use/build creatures. [*]It is supported of course and DDI is very useful. [*]It is more balanced between the classes with everyone having powers; the at-wills, dailies, encounters, and utilities. [*]Healing surges are a great addition to the game. [*]Minions are a great addition to the game. [/LIST] So there are my thoughts on the edition just off the top of my head. P.S. A question I pose to the other posters: Why can't we just have an edition question discussion and discuss it like adults w/o warring and telling someone to not play a certain edition because YOU hate it? I just get tired of the childish behavior on these threads and a serious question like this asking for some clarification always seems to have people start to flame each other for their choice in editions in a hobby we all love.
