Message: <blockquote data-quote="ruleslawyer" data-source="post: 4097816" data-attributes="member: 1757">My major worry *was* that class powers all essentially did the same things with different flavor tacked on, but the DDXP PCs have allayed that one.I too am concerned about too many fiddly bits and little modifiers. There are plenty of things I don't have the need for (dragonborn and tiefling PCs, an implied setting, etc.), but I can skip over those, and besides, they're dislikes, not fears.On the fence about 1-1-1 diagonals, and we haven't tried it in gameplay. I'd like to switch to a free-form table and tape measurement anyway, but am worried it'll be too complex.Would be concerned about static defenses instead of saves, but since I use Players Roll All the Dice in Iron Heroes, I'm sure I can use it in 4e.Really wished they'd gone with defense/DR instead of AC, but I understand why it's too complicated. Am worried about potential AC-through-the-roof builds, though, since I don't see anything that would prevent all these effects (mirror image, etc.) from being used to generate an AC-monster.Concerned about grappling mechanics, as I'd like PCs to be able to do <s>cool</s> 4tuitous things in grapples, and I'm unsure whether there will be the feats or powers to do so or just grab-pin-crush like in SWSE.Concerned about boring monsters. I'm not in love with the pit fiend, and if it represents one of the more "tricked-out" monsters in the game, I'll be disappointed.</blockquote>
