I like 4E tactics and powers, just as I don't mind using miniatures--but, like miniatures, I don't want to always have to use powers/tactics (and miniatures). I want a game that is more flexible in terms of being able to go back and forth between ad hoc/improv and tactical powers and maneuvers.The more I think about this, the more I'm tempted to run what would essentially be my best guess at what 5E will look like, using a Pathfinder Adventure Path for inspiration. Or I might try to run a simplified version of PF with elements of 4E and C&C...I'm still up in the air, really.But what I don't want to do is go back to things like THACO or combat tables; the closest I would get to playing a retro game would be C&C.</blockquote>
