[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 5671276, member: 3867"] To some degree. Remember, Dragonlance utilizes a lot of AD&D-isms in the setting. As D&D evolves, the disconnect becomes greater. Tanis Half-Elven. Tanis has been a source of contention for years. Is he a fighter or ranger? Then 3e gave us the idea that he could be multiclass, though he didn't fit the model of a ranger past 3rd level. I thought it would get worse in 4e with the warlord being introduced. But as we looked at it closer, and saw the archery warlord build (forget the name at the moment), it really seems like a natural fit for Tanis. Dragonlance fans may be a little hesitant after the setting was changed to the SAGA rules as well. Coupled with a time jump that drastically changed the world, Dragonlance developed a split fan base. I worried about history repeating itself when the Realms went to 4e, truth be told. It wasn't that SAGA was bad. In fact, it was critically acclaimed. It's just that it was drastically different. 4e has the luxury of being D&D still, so it's a closer match to DL. However, 4e has seen some of the largest changes in the game in a long while. DL fans also saw a lot of changes with 3e. No kender wizards? Well, not according to the basic philosophy that any race can be any class. So then we had to go into fluff, saying that while it was possible it has never happened. Of course, people played kender wizards anyway. [/QUOTE]
