[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4072815, member: 710"] Well, it's a new game. You can never expect that if you switch from one game to another that you can play something you knew from an earlier game. If I played a Troll Street Samurai in Shadowrun, I can't really expect to play a Troll Street Samurai when I switch to play D&D (any edition.) If I played a Human Highwayman in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, I can't really expect to find the same class in D&D. I agree that it still can be a disappointed when you switch from one game to another. But it's not really a flaw in the system. D&D is also aimed at people with no idea what they can do. To figure that out, they'll look into the rulebook and see what's there, and hopefully, that will inspire them to play something. This mindset is not unique to new roleplayers. Anyone can adopt if it they switch to a different edition, and I think it's also the most sensible to do. [/QUOTE]
