[QUOTE="underfoot007ct, post: 6002428, member: 93883"] I hope you can do that but, I don't want to waste time creating something I can just open a MM then use. Yet I am not denying you from doing it your way. Maybe I will create a boss from scratch, only If i choose to. So If I understand, You hope the D&D 5eNext has nothing from 4e, regardless if is optional, has most everything from 3e, omitting everything you dislike, because you are selfish. Thus violating its primary design goal of D&D5eNext of uniting ALL the editions. Being most like 3e, it will not appeal to most of the BD&D, AD&D1/2e, and the 4e people, thus totally failing, not selling well, causing 6e to be something completely different in a few years. The difference is, I want as many people to be happy as possible, To support many plsy-styles, To allow the play-style that they prefer, not tell people their play-style is wrong or less important. I don't want to be selfish forcing people to the bad trope of 'my way of the highway'. I think the 4e advances the game with it's monster design, this is area that I think still needs work. 4e monster had had too many HPs, but I have no interest in going back to 2-3 HP Kobolds. We need something in the middle, or an option. Same for PCs I have zero interest in a 6 HP wizard , again we need to be a option or closer to 4e. For 5eNext to be the BEST it can be, It needs to pull the best ideas from ALL editions. Having options to appeal to ALL editions, the most gamers possible. rather than Demanding that certain thing can only be done one way. Your vision of 5eNext would be mediocre at best, but you would love it but how many others? This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Mike-Mearls, you're my only hope. [/QUOTE]
