[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 3917200, member: 7883"] Well, in the lead up to 3E, I had two primary concerns....because I was actually really excited about a lot of the changes. 1-I was concerned about the focus on dungeoneering, as very few of my games have ever used dungeons. My games were usually in cities, castles, and outdoors....in woodlands, forests, on the decks of ships etc. I think the last true dungeon I ran was Undermountain, and I found it really, really boring. So, I was upset about that for 3E. 2-I had issues with what they were saying about multiclassing. Back in 1999, when all those articles were coming out about the new multiclassing system, I remember posting that it would work for everyone except those trying to split a spellcaster with a non-spellcaster. And that's exactly what happened. I also remember being excited about the changes from 1st Ed. to 2nd. I wasn't happy about getting rid of the subraces, but we ended up getting those back in the end anyways. But I was happy about the higher level limits, and several other things. Out of the 4 edition changes I've gone through (2E, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0), this is the first time that I've disliked so much of what I'm hearing. I *really* hope that they're simply doing a piss-poor job of marketing the new edition....otherwise, I don't think I'm going to make the changeover this time around. Banshee [/QUOTE]
