[QUOTE="Fallen Seraph, post: 4520613, member: 57894"] Hmm... For the most part I feel that 4e hit is right dab in the sweet spot. It has enough similarities that it continues the D&D line, but enough changed so that it may be THE D&D for another group of people (one of I believe best benefits of edition changes). For any personal things I find went to far or not far enough... [B]Not Far Enough:[/B] Alignment should simply be out of the picture all-together. Perhaps if there needs to be something to follow suit a Morality-System, just something not so archaic. [B]Too Far:[/B] Very, very minor but the exclusion of firearms all-together in the corebooks. They had only very limited space before but they were there. [B]One or The Other:[/B] The overabundance of elements in both creatures and magic. I can't really say what editions has more of this, so it could be either one. [I](But this is more part of a private little brain-rant I have had lately :P)[/I] This is what pops into my head right now. But, probably could think of some other very minor quibbles later on (that don't break the barrier of it being to the point of not being D&D anymore). [/QUOTE]
