[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5917030, member: 996"] That is among it's collection of impossible goals. ;) Heck, it was even suggested that it might allow AD&D, 3e, and 4e fans to all sit at the same table and feel like they were playing their respective favorites. Might as well aim high, I guess. In order to do that, it'd have to stop trying to hard to /be/ previous editions. The design goals of 5e are starting to remind me of the proposed astronomical system of Tycho Brahe. At the time, there was controversy between the Geocentric and Heliocentric systems. Brahe envisioned a system in which the sun and moon orbit the earth, but the other planets orbit the sun. A neat compromise between the other two. [/QUOTE]
