[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8382723, member: 7032025"] Honestly, at this stage, I'm not sure there will be a 6e for a veeery long time. It would cost a huge amount of money and break a serious dynamic, and with the success of 5e I'm not sur how you could invent something different enough to justify a new edition and still compatible both with the past and with the current formula for success with a very flexible game. But in terms of limited impact, I follow you. :) The reason for me reading guides is that I don't have the opportunity to play all the classes to a significant level. The guides are written by people who love these classes and have a fairly wide knowledge of what they feel like when played. But for example there are some classes that I'm absolutely not interested in like the Monk or the Artificer, I've never read those. After that, the main problem is that it's really hard to generalise, especially when speaking about power and resilience, simple factors like the way the DM allows resting or the player (ab)use it completely change the values. Does the DM put one really really hard fight and the party rest every time, or do they go through several less punishing encounters before resting ? This completely change the relative value of Con compared to other stats, as well as the power of classes against others... [/QUOTE]
