[QUOTE="RFisher, post: 4538083, member: 3608"] Like the Hero system. Wouldn’t be a bad thing, I think. Yet, it would make it even a greater disconnect from previous editions. I kind of felt that way in my AD&D days. When I read 3e, I [i]really[/i] was wishing the system had gone more that way. Generic classes and True20 finally did it pretty well. Thing is, though, I think I prefer the older kinds of roles to the combat-oriented kinds of roles in 4e. I get the idea, but—so far—I just haven’t enjoyed it. I’ve been a big fan of the idea of a generic mechanic flavored to taste, until I played 4e. Is it that I haven’t played enough Risus to realize that I don’t like it there as well? Or is it that one of the differences between Risus and 4e means that I like it in Risus but not 4e? And honestly I long ago decided that I don’t necessarily [i]want[/i] a game to support any character concept. So far, though, it hasn’t felt like I’ve managed to create a 4e character that I was jazzed to play. [/QUOTE]
