[QUOTE="ChrisCarlson, post: 6881348, member: 6801216"] You seem to be a very selective and picky gamer. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It's just that, if you are so very particular about systems, I can see why you are having so many issues with so many games and playstyles. Hrm. Okay. I'm still a little fuzzy on what exactly you are driving at with "aesthetic" though. Again, having played them all, I get that they are different, but in so many ways I don't know where you are running into problems. Is it caster superiority of 3.x? Is it the homogeneity of 4e? Because those are at complete odds with each other. How do you lump them together like you are? Subtle. But I [i]have[/i] it. I just didn't see the point of you mentioning it as vaguely as you did. At least in the context of this conversation. And you still haven't explained your comment. What is it about the "feel and aesthetic" of that book that you want to see in 5e? Okay. There it is. You want splat. Why do you think that is? Are are saying, "I want more options!"? Because that is a sentiment that can never be truly sated. There's always another potential splat book around the corner. Besides, 5e is already so chock full o' option in its initial round of books, it's like the first few splat books that would have normally been published in previous editions, were already included.
