[QUOTE="Wik, post: 4670281, member: 40177"] For the record... THINGS I LIKE ABOUT 4E: * The Trained/Untrained system (though I'd like there to be a "half trained" or something) * Races, no ability penalties * Racial Powers * Multi-classing (at least, the theory) * AC/Reflex/Fort/Will as Defences. * A focus on keeping everyone in the game (I always did it, but not everyone did) * Really implementing PC movement and terrain * Rituals (they do have a use, I just don't like some of the ripples they make on other facets of the game) * Power Sources * Hit Points and Healing Surges * The way the math works (I like tiers, and the +1/2 level thing is grand) * Monster Roles, and a focus on multiple monsters per encounter (big plus over 3rd, but really just going back to BECMI and 1e roots) * At-Wills (existed in 3e, though, in a different way) * No Monk * No monk in the PHB 2. * No frigging monk. * Easy to retcon flavour. * A better DMG * Quick to prep games, and easier to DM. * Putting magical items in the PHB (hated it at first, but I can see it was a good idea) * The folding of some skills into groups. (I have a caveat, here... I think the game should have done what Earthdawn did, and include open-to-the player "Background skills" like Blacksmithing or 'Dragonborn Scale Weaving'. [/QUOTE]
