Consider instead Robin Laws' classification scheme, which is a far more useful way to pigeonhole people:- Powergamers: Will probably be happy now that limited per-day powers are gone (for the most part); might be unhappy if game-changing spells/powers are nerfed- Buttkickers: Will be very happy, with the addition of more combat options and new ways to kick butt- Tacticians: Depends on how much they bought into the 4 encounters/day setup; reduction in lethality also implies reduction in chance to make an impact by mitigating said lethality; however additional within-encounter options might make up for it- Storytellers: Will probably be happy; instakills being nerfed and lethality seemingly being toned down means less chance of the plot being wrecked- Character actors: See storytellers, only substitute character for plot; will also be anticipating the new social interaction rules (of which little has yet been seen)- Specialists: Depends on whether their specialty got nerfed or boosted; if you like playing fighters you're probably happy- Casual gamers: By definition, don't care one way or another</blockquote>
