D&D 4E 4E: The Biggest Changes in any D&D Edition Switch

[Lanefan]

3rd addition has a positive attitude however. Instead of taking away from elves and dwarves they add abilities to humans as in extra skills and feats. and to make up for pc's in general being more powerful they added to monsters etc.

Which is fine, if you don't mind power creep gallop in the game. Addition without subtraction just leads to an arms race, to little point and no end.

I think this will be the biggest change in crunch and fluff from all the editions, however I don't like it. 4e has so many changes from the previous versions that to me its becoming something different, different than the original dnd. I think 3.5 is the best version. It keeps the spirit, essence, mechanics and everything else of the game at the right level.

And this is where "opportunity cost" enters the game. It's just less obvious and hence not registered as a drawback or "subtraction".

Cheers, LT.

This is a good point.
