Gear I could give up, but feats and combat mechanics? Hell no. Just stapling 4e powers to 5e's system will never have half the tactical depth of 4e, it will just be bad at being either the loosey-goosey "whatever, DM will fix it" style of 5e OR the rigorous "we prepared for as many ranges of choices as we could" of 4e....no. Absolutely not. Why would you completely upend the system balance like this? This isn't even remotely like 4e anymore. It's 5e with some new weird maneuver rules and a different spell list. You will have completely sold the ACTUAL comparable power of casters and non-casters for a BLATANT power increase to casters alone. Unless you are proposing the even worse alternative that a non-caster uses attack powers a number of times equal to their Extra Attack amount, in which case Fighters are now the most stupidly overpowered class in the game, bar none.I'm not saying it's not possible to capture some of 4e's spirit in 5e. But this isn't even Frankenstein's monster. This is a badly-made Fullmetal Alchemist chimera.</blockquote>
