It cuts character creation time down dramatically. Take Sunday this past week for example. My 3.5e game kind of sputtered out as I realized that the 3.5e ruleset wasn't doing it for my group. We had great time RP'ing for the first few sessions, but then when we came to battles, etc, the mechanics were just meh. So on Sunday my friend was over and my wife and I were enjoying some fine coffee with him when he asked if we could play tonight. (I had mentioned that I'd like him to try 4e previously). During the boys nap (2 hours) I had gone through all the different characters and races with him and my wife, rolled up PC's (we still use 3d6, but choose the order), picked out gear and powers, and printed off character sheets in readiness for the game that night. We played Sunday for a few hours after the boys went to bed for the night and then again last night he called us up and asked if we'd play again. The powers are all printed off in the character sheet, so no rulebook referencing, and the game flew by. In just over 1 hours last night we fought two battles, roleplayed through a skill challenge and did some rp'ing around the watch fire at night. All in all it works very well for us. (If anyone cares, I'm playing a Goliath Battle Cleric of Tempus, my wife's a Shifter Warden, and my friend's a human rogue)</blockquote>
