Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenes" data-source="post: 4393579" data-attributes="member: 604">We're roleplay focused. 3E offered much better multiclassing, prestige classes to flesh out concepts and backgrounds, various skill points, a robust skill system compared to 2E, more classes, more customising options with feats, and a streamlined rules system (d20, roll high).2E in comparision offered mostly kits, and not much flexibility. Fluff works for both anyway - I tend to tailor fluff to my campaign from various sources - but the 3E feels like the mechanics fit the fluff better.4E in comparision feels limited. They cut down so many skills, especially perform. it also feels pigeonholing with regards to classes, and focused on rigid roles, and tactical combat - and draws those out.That may change with time, but at the moment, 4E simply is not offering enough. If it was food, then 4E would be a possibly very good meal, planned by an expert system, with perfectly balanced main and side dish, and the right mix of carbs, protein and fiber. 3E is a buffet stocked with food from all over the world (3PP). Sure, some combinations might not be tasty, and even unhealthy, but it has variety in spades, and if one meal doesn't taste right to someone, he might find something more to his taste (like Iron Heroes, Conan, or some optional adds to 3E).I'd rather pick and choose for myself than eat what's on the table, day in and out.</blockquote>
