[QUOTE="Erechel, post: 6597559, member: 6784868"] Actually, the backgrounds are back to AD&D (the game that you seem to dislike) kits. Even with the skills (in AD&D NWP) incorporated. It is certainly not a 4th edition innovation, although the game actually can crave of this. And as I said earlier, many things of 4th edition [I]are[/I] good, when implemented in a different context. But, Pemerton, why I do have to implement time and effort to fix a game I don't like in the first time? Yes, I can fix short rests to be 1 hour and long rests 8 hours. I can implement complex Exhaustion rules to drive off fighter's daily powers, or better up their "at-will" ground to be a more reliable character and get rid of vancian daily powers. I can implement Advantage to fasten up combats, and flatten the power scaladeand mini bonus. I can get off the party roles and make them more flexible and fluid, without being pressed on every class. I can even module to add social and adventuring skills that are a trade-off of combat. Or get rid of the "squares" term and replace it for meters, and don't rely as heavily on grids an miniatures, while still use them. I wont. I already have my shinny new toy, so I don't want to fix an old, ugly one. I would do it for AD&D, my old and beloved toy, because I loved that game and I did not find it as flawed as you may think, but I don't need to anymore. The better parts of 4th edition are still present in 5th edition, as the better of AD&D and 3.5. And it has his own flavor, like all the things that I could implement to 4th edition. And sorry if I offended you prior. You have seen the pedantery in the posts of Tony Vargas (now in my ignoring list) and Tequila Sunrise (he at least tried to apologize), so you are clearly not my objective when I reacted violently. As you were valid to be offended in which you percieved as a prick calling you munchkin, I can call my rights to not being insulted and called a dinosaur, reactionary prick because I-don't-like-that-game as a whole.
