[QUOTE="fba827, post: 6326054, member: 807"] With d&d rule sets it's typically helpful to revisit a rule set later just to see how it's evolved if the initial release didn't appeal to you. As an example ( not trying to beat a dead horse, just using it as an example since it's the example that you mentioned) in 4e the initial fighter presentation turned you off, but there was a fighter released later in 4e with a different presentation style that would probably have been more what you were looking for. Likewise there was no reason you couldn't play against type, just from the initial products but also as supplements came out there were more and more options to do so. I would have to go back and reread -just- the initial 3e phb to be sure but I suspect the options to play against type were the same at initial release. It's only because you have a larger library to draw from in 3 compared to the one initial book in 4 that it may not have felt that way. But that's all assumption based on the info here.. I Don't mean to quibble over little points, but all I'm trying to say is, for 5e if it doesn't appeal to you right away then check it out later down the road and see f future supplements don't address some issue that you initially had.
