[QUOTE="Glade Riven, post: 5752073, member: 86468"] Yeah, I remember some heavy fudging with HP and minions to make encounters work back when I played 4e because of the grind. Then it worked so well I did it for Star Wars Saga and Pathfinder. I'll admit to bringing a bit of 4e to the table every time I DM, and I'll raid the sock drawer of any system I need to in order to make sure everyone is having a good time. I don't see Monte Cook stepping back to 3.0 for 5e - from what I've read of him and what he's written directly, my guess is that he'll aim for something new. Some problems will be solved, some new problems will arise, fans of 4e and Pathfinder will be split on the new edition (especially new players to 4e). Of interest is that DDI's data will play a prominent role, and I expect the player's guide to reflect the most popular choices in DDI's character generator. So there is going to be some target marketing going on from the ground up. I can't guarentee that I'll buy, but it is probable that I will. [/QUOTE]
