Doesn't mean they can't continue to build upon and fix the mistakes of the previous version.More on topic, I'm going to argue that 3e was a good step in that direction, it just didn't make it all the way. Turning/Grapple etc. Also, note that the thing in particular that gets touted is easy/interesting things to do in combat. While you could argue that this is because 4e is totally combat orientated, another way to look at it is that the current d20 + skill modifer vs dc works (well, between levels 1-10 anyway), but the current choice between attack/opposed attack/touch attack/opposed stat check/save for made up in combat actions doesn't, at least not in the way skills do, or d20 + stat attack vs defense/dc hopefully does.</blockquote>
