[QUOTE="Ry, post: 3607338, member: 8314"] I agree that might happen, but I don't think it's going to break anybody's game. Being 4 feats ahead is being 20,000 exp ahead along any given feat chain your character wants. That's a real factor. At the same time, yeah, maybe we'd see fewer fighters. But IMO, the fighter's something of a weak class to begin with. Did you see the Dead Levels article at WotC? Fighters got, a real ability to "shore them up." Think of it another way: If your campaign was full of rangers, paladins, and barbarians instead of fighters, would it really suffer? Now if a player really wanted a soldier-style character, thought the fighter was weak, and you agreed, there's loads of alternate options available. Nifft - I agree that 4e will likely look a lot like Saga. But also, I want to let people with a PHB and some dice just show up, and know how it works. At least when it comes to my own projects, if I make big revisions, I end up making more and more tiny ones. If the rules are in flux, it's harder for a new player. I want a player to be able to (for example) get to 6th level, go to Japan, and then drop back into my game six months or a year later and still know how to play. I may convert this to 4E when it comes out, but that depends a lot on what 4E looks like (i.e. does it have a SRD? What's the community reaction? Is everyone converting or is the community forking?)
