Message: <blockquote data-quote="That One Guy" data-source="post: 4183420" data-attributes="member: 64672">This is really long for how pro-4e I am... I seriously try to pimp it to everyone.-Fear: Intelligence won't be as important.-Fear: That there won't be a useful/non-feat way to gain more skills known (I was big into skills... possibly laughably so).-Fear: I won't have a new group to play w/ when I move in a few months.-Fear: Saves for low level characters versus epic characters will be okay on a 10+. (I think I'd house rule that tiers give lower tiers -3 on saves/tier. Paragon to hero -3. Epic to hero, -6... but I'd rather have it hard-wired into the rules)-Fear: Utility powers will not be useful, varied, enough of them, or useful in noncombat situations.-Fear: Skill Challenges won't be as fun for my players as they were for me when I played the demo.-Fear: Feystep doesn't require some sort of line-of-sight to where one is going. I just sort of assumed one would need it... but if not... master thief, anyone?-Fear: That if I do try DDI w/ my friends, that it won't be fun at all. I'm not looking for it to be as good as face to face... but I just don't want it to suck.-Fear: That crafting skills will be lame.-Fear: It'll be impossible (or so extremely difficult that I don't try) to run sessions w/ characters who are pre-heroic. (I'm a fan of flash-back and pre-game ...games)-Fear: In a few years they'll "Give up" and just make over-powered classes who have no balance w/ the original PHB.-Fear: That the sample characters in the books will be lame. It may seem odd, but as much as I like my tons of sweet options, there are sometimes when people don't want to spend a few hours creating level X character and just want to play. But, there wasn't anything like that for a lot of books and even then the ...'build's?... weren't what I'd suggest to my players.-Fear: That they'll just throw half-orcs and gnomes into PHBII. Wouldn't that be lol-tastic? ...I'm sure playable gnomes and half-orcs'll show up sometime, but if they're in the PHBII it'll really feel like leftovers from the PHB... which is a fear I'm generally less scared of.-Fear: That buffing attacks won't be able to be just buffs. Easily house-ruled to prevent a need for bag-o-rats... but still.To clarify a fear I'm less afraid of... The reason for the PHBII. If every class is getting a chapter in the PHB, then there is really no way they could've crammed everything good in. So... it makes sense. I just hope that the PHBII is full (has a lot of useful things) and good (well thought out and organized), and isn't just, "What we couldn't fit into the PHB goes here!" ...which is what it felt like until I found out about the whole... chapter/class thing. Also, I'm afraid that... PHBII won't have the 'Wow, every class is a class I want to play' feeling I get w/ the PHB.-Oh yeah Fear: That people won't go along with my firm (and acquired through some forum) belief in calling squares strides.</blockquote>
