[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 9458166, member: 58416"] A lot of what I heard from the YouTube videos was less about max possible power and more about what the game (and in-game world) assume are normal functions. One of the comments that I remember was that a tavern in D&D looks more like Mos Eisley Cantina. Aside from that, a lot of the discussion was about powers and abilities being more-easily accessible to a character or a person living inside of a world built upon 5e24's assumptions. I remember a lot of broken things from 3.5. For example, I had a caster cable of using Time Stop, teleporting to a demi-plane where time worked differently, resting, and coming back to the encounter with a full compliment of spells. I also remember playing 4E and being able to perform a standing jump from the ground to land on the back of a dragon and kill it with a rake while still in the first tier of play (late first tier, but first tier).
