That's where we begin to see more facts and actual rules excerpts from the new edition. Until this phase, conjecture and hyperbole ruled the day. As the weeks progress, we see that many complaints and concerns - while not all - were simply baseless, incorrect, and perhaps merely spiteful. For whatever reason, some people seem to believe that if it's not "their D&D" then it should be "no one's D&D", and that type of thinking has caused more heartache throughout history than spicy pasta.I'm hoping that the process of incremental informational updates will accomplish two things:(1) It will validate my thoughts/hopes about the framework behind 4E, and(2) It will cause some of the usual suspects to lower the volume and frequency of their complaining.Anyway, Mike, here's one old fart who began playing around the same time you did and is very appreciative you and WotC are showing the courage to push the game we love forward.Wis</blockquote>
