Now, counters or miniatures do enhance and clarify the combat, I think, but they're hardly required.How on Earth is this WotC's fault? This is purely a player-DM problem.By the "unnecessary" changes to halflings, I take you refer to their changed appearance and society? (Because, crunch-wise, they aren't that much different from what's gone before.) A lot of people, myself included, found those changes quite welcome; Tolkien's hobbits make lousy adventurers (Bilbo, Frodo & co. being very much the exception from the norm), and it's a bother to keep figuring why all these pudgy homebodies are going out to risk life and limb as rogues. Gnomes, I can sympathize with you (insofar as I care about them <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ). IMO, Wizard would be a better favored class for gnomes, with bard or sorcerer fitting the elves nicely.It was a bit clumsily handled, but IMO a good thing. 3.5 fixed some clear problems and generally improved the game.With the information we have at this point, it's impossible to tell with any certainty how easy or hard it is to convert material and characters from previous editions into the 4th ed. As for "having to re-purchase your books", nobody is coming to your house, burning down your gaming library, smashing your dice and forcing you, at gunpoint, to buy 4th edition. And no matter what you think, WotC has to address the new gamers as well, who are going to need all the stuff you already have, and more.The "fervent denials" thing has been addressed elsewhere, several times by now.To the best of my knowledge, the extent will be zero. DI is intended to enhance your game; it's not required. As for the "destruction" of Dragon, it's going to be available online.And I really believe you believe that. But that doesn't necessarily make your opinion correct, or well-informed.</blockquote>
