[QUOTE="Silam, post: 9843897, member: 7055898"] I think 3.5’s "iterative attacks" where the 2nd attack of the round had -5 penalty, the 3rd had -10 and so on was unnecessarily complicated. So I’m happy they got rid of that… On the other hand, I feel it’s a bit silly that only the fighter gets more than one extra attack in 5e. Sure, a fighter should have an edge at "fighting" compared to other warrior classes like the barb, pally and ranger, but I feel like the number of attacks being the only way to give them an edge is a bit unimaginative. Meanwhile, so many classes get fighting styles and weapon masteries… these are the types of features which should maybe have been a bit more exclusive to the fighter (or at least delayed to higher levels in the other classes). The 3.5 AC system with regular AC, touch AC and flatfooted AC was the best, IMHO. Much more interesting than just a single number. Like, why does your metallic shield and full plate protect you from my shocking grasp? If anything, carrying all that naughty word should make it easier for me to shock you! (and in 3.5, it did).
