One of the genius strokes of the original <strong>Dungeons & Dragons</strong> game design was that it allowed players to find their own level of mastery. Playing a wizard presented different challenges and required more rules mastery than playing a fighter. We wanted to preserve and return to that aspect of the <strong>Dungeons & Dragons</strong> game in the Essentials products.</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="font-size: 12px">These two points also loomed large in player feedback. Some players missed the diversity of different character class structures. They felt that the current versions of the classes looked too much alike. Others liked the ability to focus on more complex or simple character classes, depending on their tastes. This was an area where the needs of beginning players and feedback from veterans neatly aligned</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"></p></blockquote><p></p>

One of the genius strokes of the original [B]Dungeons & Dragons[/B] game design was that it allowed players to find their own level of mastery. Playing a wizard presented different challenges and required more rules mastery than playing a fighter. We wanted to preserve and return to that aspect of the [B]Dungeons & Dragons[/B] game in the Essentials products.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]These two points also loomed large in player feedback. Some players missed the diversity of different character class structures. They felt that the current versions of the classes looked too much alike. Others liked the ability to focus on more complex or simple character classes, depending on their tastes. This was an area where the needs of beginning players and feedback from veterans neatly aligned[/SIZE] [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
