[QUOTE="Aristotle, post: 4011369, member: 5885"] When 4e was announced I was guardedly optimistic. As information started to come I found myself liking about 80% of what I heard, and expecting at least half of what I didn't like to be minor enough to be left out or easily house ruled. With the most recent information I'm finding the rules didn't go quite as far as I would have liked in some regards. I certainly feel like progress has been made. I may just have to wait to see the other changes I want in future editions, or maybe as optional rules in DMG sidebars or in a book of alternative game mechanics. I had a brief moment of "maybe I'll just stick with 3.5 or move to one of the 3.5 alternative systems" today when I read the magic item preview. I think I'll move forward with 4E, but I'm *really* hoping for those optional rules. [/QUOTE]
