Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stoat" data-source="post: 5799880" data-attributes="member: 16786">I'm pretty firmly in the "meh" column right now.  Partly that's because 4E still feels fresh to me.  I've got a lot of 4E left to play, and I'm not interested in changing things up right now.   Maybe I'll feel differently in a year or so when the next iteration drops. But I'm leery of six "saving throws".  I'm not keen on a skill system that boils down to "make a dex check."  I don't much care for opposed rolls as the basis for a combat system.  I'd rather see feats de-emphasized instead of emphasized.  I'd just as soon see the Great Wheel remained lost in the mists of history.  And rather than letting them die in a fire, I'd like to see Skill Challenges tweaked and presented in a more playable way.As to the modular nature of the new game.  What's WotC's business model?  If I want a more robust skill system, do I have to pay extra for the  Robust Skill System Rulebook?  If I want to use a battlemat for combat, will the rules be available at launch or will I need to wait six months for the Grid-Based Combat Rulebook?  As to 5E being the edition that heals all wounds and brings everybody together in peace and love?  I hope so, and Im cheered that somebody's who has played the game thinks it can happen, but I'll believe it when I see it.</blockquote>
