Well, this part makes me want this guy to not be hired again. And I'm far from a big fan of 4e.So here we are, at the dawn of the next edition, an edition I, in some part, helped to create. When I was brought onto the team, it was with the understanding that I would fly the 4th Edition flag, a game I had worked hard to support through the countless articles and supplements throughout the life of that game.

As I worked on 5th Edition, I shed my 3rd Edition and 4th Edition influences.

Not really. You can make yourself more or less effective to a degree, but not nearly as much as in last couple iterations of the game.
Then again, I'm forgetting the playtest multiclass rules, which I read and promptly said, "Nope." I know they were changing them, I guess we'll see if I go back to allowing them.
I am reading a full 180 turn in your argument from paragraph one to paragraph two, since you already want to house rule something from the PHB, or maybe even basic rules.Not really.

It's pretty easy in 4e as well. Just ban the dragon magazine stuff, and don't let the players select magic items. That cuts down the charop material by 95%.This edition seems pretty comfortable with "broken" being defined on a table by table basis.
And that's pretty cool.
Thaumaturge.

Maybe it's cynical, but I have a very "heard it all before" feel from this article. Same old arguments, of which others will have the same old disagreements. Eh. Nothing new here that I saw.
