[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 4573367, member: 2525"] I disagree that it is a major dumbing down of the 3e rules set. It's not a dumbing down of anything, and it's not the 3e rules set with a coat of paint. It's not like this is simply a reorganization of the 3e rules and elimination of some of them. These are entirely new rules, and it's important to start from the premise that this is not like the change from 3.0e to 3.5e, but is instead a new game on the same level as 2e vs. 3e. I also think it is much easier to "do well no matter what class you are" in 4e. The classes are far better balanced against each other than they were in 3e. The wizard is no longer extremely weak at low levels and extremely powerful at high levels relative to the rest of the party, for example. Now, all classes are about equally powerful as all the others, at just about all levels. However, each class still does unique things relative to the other classes. [/QUOTE]
