[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 5241769, member: 1956"] Well, I really love 4e's "every PCs have the same amount of resources and thus rest in the same timing" structure. Before 4e, a party took a rest when a PC with the fewest resources (usually the fewer spell slots) used up all of his tricks for the day, even if other PCs still have plentiful of spell slots and HPs. But at the same time, I somewhat miss "classes for lazy people". Some players do love using simpler PC. And I want such a class when I invite a player who is not so good at handling complex rules or vast resources. As long as the new class (or build option) can do well with existing classes, say, having relatively the same level of strength and having relatively the same frequency to need a rest, simpler PC options will be a good addition. But I will wait to say more until actually seeing those new PCs. By the way, regarding BoNS. I do not think that was a good thing happened to 3.5e. The book was a good testbed for new D&D (ie. 4e). But did not work well as a part of 3.5e. And also, poorly play-tested. [/QUOTE]
