[QUOTE="RefinedBean, post: 4202632, member: 55016"] [b]Gosh[/b] I love threads like these. I swear I can hear gunfire as I scroll down. First off, why wasn't I invited to the Time Travel Party where it seems a whole bunch of people flew to the future on a plane made of dreams and memorized everything from the core books? What with almost everyone knowing everything there is about the forthcoming 4th Ed, I'm surprised these arguments even exist. For the love of god, someone post the new SRD ASAP, OK? Second, have any of you scheduled your shakedown with the Thought Police in June as they forcibly convert every campaign and character to 4th Ed? They even do weekends! All snarkiness aside, 1. You can't please all the people all the time. No edition of D&D did this with its core books. 2. WOTC is a company, and companies enjoy making money. I'm guessing not many people wrote WOTC an e-mail stating "I love Bards so much that I think they should be listed antialphabetically before Barbarians because they're so cool, and everyone plays them forever." They did research, reinvented some things, and are creating a new system that helps them reach a wider audience while still trying to keep their original fan-base. 3. How successful has this been so far? Well, in reading through this and other threads, it seems that about 3/4 of all posters/fans are happy with how the new system looks and feels, and I'm guessing that most of the remaining unhappy 1/4 will STILL buy the core books when they come out. Couple that with the new players 4th Ed is probably going to bring in, and bingo. Moolah. So sure, your character concept is a unique, precious snowflake that all should behold and worship. And we will do so, when the appropriate book comes out, or if you're willing to remove the character CONCEPT from the character CLASS. Until then, don't judge on incomplete information, and stay loose! [/QUOTE]
