[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4536751, member: 19675"] Look, there is nothing wrong with creating new PCs for a new game. I do it all the time. [I]"How can I use the 4E rules to create an interesting character?"[/I] is a question I can easily answer. I had 2 PC designs I liked within hours of getting my pre-ordered Core 3. However, when a game becomes so different between editions that the publisher suggests you start new campaigns rather than try to upgrade your PCs, then its a problem. This just in: [B]some of us aren't interested in starting new campaigns![/B] [I]"I did it this way in 3E and 4E won't let me do the same"[/I] is the problem that arises when nobody wants to start anew, and its a completely valid critique of the new edition. Some of us aren't all that interested in tweeking and kludging other classes to simulate a formerly core concept- and that is spoken as someone whose favorite game is HERO (which is all about tweeking etc.). Hammering square pegs into round holes is something I gave up when I was 2 years old. That someone made a design decision to excise a class that has been a ([I]popular[/I]) part of the game since 1977 or so is, IMHO, an example of "Epic Fail." [/QUOTE]
