[QUOTE="Doug McCrae, post: 3811062, member: 21169"] 1. Casters balanced against non-casters. This will be truly wonderful if 4e pulls it off. For me it's the Holy Grail of roleplaying. 2. Game works from level 1-30, not 3-10 as previously. This is great as it means a lot more of the material will be usable. 3. Balance per encounter, not per day. Now I'll be able to have a single encounter in a day without breaking game balance. 4. Cooler magic items. In 3e the best items, the big six, are sadly also the most boring. This can be partly fixed with Magic Item Compendium though. 5. Simpler monsters. Recently I've noticed how well the MM4 and MM5 monster design works. I don't forget any monster powers like I do with MM1 (for instance mising the derro's sound burst power in a battle vs 30 of them, which could've made a huge difference). 6. New stuff.
