[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 2181884, member: 6584"] I'm playing in a 5th edition game at the moment. Overall, I'm finding it a lot more streamlined than the 4th edition campaign we played. Can't recall my experiences with the older editions... never played them much. I like it. IMO, it feels like the writers have taken a few lessons from DnD/D20 in general. The rules feel more unified - most noticably with experience and training. Less strange exceptions. Find they are layed out and explained rather better than 4th edition. Some attention has been payed to the 'gods of game balance'... certain 'no brainer' spells from previous editions have been made rather more difficult to cast. I like what they've done with it... Can see why others might not. Jury is still out on the spell penetration stuff that [B]Laslo Tremaine[/B] was talking about. I like it in principle, but we've not been playing long enough for it to have a major impact on the game. Combat is still not the strongest point of the system, but IMO it's years ahead of 4th edition. Still rather lethal! [/QUOTE]
