Limit Break Dancing (He/They)
Yeah, I thought about rewording the poll to include every edition of the game, but it was just too convoluted to be useful. Faster than 4E/Slower than 4E/About the same as 4E/Faster than 3.x/Slower than 3.x/About the same as 3.X/Faster than 2E/Slower than 2E/About the same as 2E/etc., etc. Blah.I'm the guy who voted slower because I decided not to compare it to 4E/3.x but to Basic D&D, which I am currently playing.
Of course it's faster than 4E (anything is) and around as fast as 3.x without too many options. Play full 3.x/PF with everything in terms of rules and 5E is faster.
Thanks for clarifying. And I agree; combat under D&D Next was still slower than it was under the Moldvay Basic Rules. But even so, I think it is a dramatic improvement over the past 12 years.
