[QUOTE="Beginning of the End, post: 5048671, member: 55271"] Honestly, I have yet to see anything that 4E does well that you couldn't do equally well in previous editions. If you're looking for an out-of-the-box default of "this entire campaign will be played at the mid-level power range from previous editions", 4E gives that to you. But doing that in previous editions required about 10 seconds of house ruling ("roll up 6th level characters and I'll be awarding 1/10th the normal XP"), and that still gave you a wider range of supported play styles. One of the reasons 3E continues to get played at our tables is that our circle of gamers isn't unified in its taste: Previous editions of D&D weren't a one-size-fits-all solution, and were thus capable of catering to a wider and more diverse audience. But like I say: If the 4E designers chose your sweet spot, then you're in luck. They did a great job of addressing that one style of play. And you don't have to worry about anyone with different tastes mucking it up for you. [/QUOTE]
