[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 5822846, member: 1465"] I agree wholeheartedly, I really really hope that [I]every[/I] class can be either played in an easy way or a complex way. It worries me to hear from the seminars that the designers still have in mind to give some classes more complexity than others. I don't want beginners to be unable to play some classes because they are beyond their capabilities, just like I don't want experts to be uninterested in other classes because they can't get tactical enough with them! Also I can't help but wondering... why can't [I]level[/I] already take care of that, at least partially? There's lots of expert gaming groups which start every new campaign at mid level already, and let beginners play 1st level games. I definitely like multiple attacks. Just like a mid-high level Wizard can blast multiple foes with a fireball, I like the idea of a Fighter chopping down multiple enemies or an archer shooting arrows e.g. to distract multiple spellcasters. But I do recognize that 3ed multiple attacks routines don't work well at all, exactly because the penalties are way too large, and attacks beyond the 2nd already have too low a chance.
